Gleaming gold and known as “fool’s gold,” pyrite is the stone of confidence, willpower, and abundance — bright, bold, and traditionally kept to attract opportunity. Here’s what pyrite means, how to use it, and how to care for it.
An honest note: crystals are a traditional and metaphysical practice, not medicine or financial advice. This is meaning and ritual.
