Where Is It From? Pyrite Meaning

Significant deposits of Pyrite have been found in Peru, Chile, Britain, Spain, Italy and North America.

The meaning of Pyrite dates back a long way in history as it was first reported around 50AD.

Its name comes from the Greek word for 'fire', because when you strike it against another rock, it gives off sparks and it causes a spark when it is hit with steel. 

The make-up of Iron Pyrite is iron disulfide, and it has been found in a large number of locations throughout the world and is often found in coal mines.

There are two distinct types of this mineral. One has a very tiny crystalline or drusy structure and one has the more distinct cubic appearance.

There are even some that exhibit a mixture of both types, known as Isis and Osiris Pyrite.

There is also another lovely form called a Pyrite Sun, see image, and these are also found in some of the above locations, but are less common than the other forms.

Pyrite Sun Stones are beautiful and quite unique. They occur as round mineral concretions that may also contain the mineral Marcasite.

They form as a circle radiating from a central point, like the one pictured here.

Using it with any of the solar plexus stones is an advantage, but it is specifically useful to combine it with stones that will aid to increase willpower and improve your thought processes.

Citrine Crystals, Hematite Stone, Golden Labradorite and Yellow Apatite are all useful for that purpose.

Because of its strong vibration within the sacral or navel chakra, it will stimulate male sexual energy.
