Pyrite is known to provide powerful protection against negative energy, shielding it's user from harmful energy and emotional stress. The word Pyrite comes from the Greek word for Pyr, which translates to fire – an echo of how the light catches on the surface of the stone. With shades of pale brass or a richer gold colour, Pyrite is a pretty stone that holds its own when it comes to a dazzling metallic shine. In homage to its name, it can also strike sparks if struck hard enough.
