Even though this crystal is often referred to as Fool's Gold, there's nothing foolish about this powerful stone. Pyrite derives its name from the Greek "pyr" which means fire -- an apt name for a stone that will light a fire within you to turn your thoughts into actions. Pyrite helps to increase one's self-confidence. It grows naturally into cube like formations. Its square shape acts as a shield protecting its wearer from negativity from within and without. The golden color works to protect you from depression as it helps to increase your physical and emotional stamina.
Because of its strong protective elements, it makes a great gift for someone working in a dangerous job.
Pyrite is also a great stone to place in your money corner as it will help to draw abundance to you. It's known as a stone of financial luck too, so carry a small piece in your wallet and visualize money coming your way!
