Pyrite: The glittering stone of possibility
Pyrite Affirmation
I am confident, powerful, and capable of achieving my goals. I am a magnet for positive opportunities and experiences and easily manifest my desires with clarity and intention.
Pyrite is found in locations around the world in a variety of geological formations. But what’s fascinating about this stone is how it evolves. It starts as iron-rich sedimentary deposits in hydrothermal veins. As it evolves, it forms in masses, stalactites, grains, globes, cubes, and even 12-sided crystals! Pyrite is a very fluid stone and, like our own lives, can evolve in any number of directions.
The name pyrite originates from the Greek word pyr, meaning ‘fire.’ This name reflects pyrite's ability to produce sparks when struck against metal or another hard surface. The sparks result from the process known as ‘triboelectricity,’ where friction between two materials generates an electric charge.
Pyrite held spiritual importance to the Incan and Aztec civilizations of South America. They believed it was a sacred stone associated with the Sun and the gods of abundance and wealth. Pyrite was used in ceremonial objects, masks, and jewelry worn by rulers and priests during religious rituals and offerings. It was thought to bring prosperity, abundance, and protection from negative energies. Pyrite also played a significant role in the early colonization of North America. Spanish conquistadors, including Sir Walter Raleigh, encountered pyrite deposits in what is now known as Virginia. They mistakenly believed these deposits to be gold, leading to their excitement and the establishment of the Jamestown colony in 1607.
Pyrite is the glittering stone of possibility, potential, and prosperity that encourages you to shine in your power. It revitalizes your self-image and connects you to the warmth of the Sun, helping you serve as a source of inspiration.
Pyrite activates the Solar Plexus Chakra for confidence and inner strength. Placed on this energy center, it increases your sense of self-worth, helping you feel deserving of manifesting prosperity in your life. Kept in your pocket, it increases your self-esteem and allows you to effectively address conflict, especially when people are making you feel unsure of yourself. This gem corresponds to the zodiac sign Leo and brings positivity, vitality, and overall well-being.
Pyrite asks:
How do you cultivate your personal power and confidence? Do you feel deserving of wealth?
