Chakra Connection
Pyrite is traditionally connected to the solar plexus and root chakras. Known for its golden shine, it is associated with willpower, confidence, motivation and abundance, which is why so many people keep a piece on their desk or near where they handle money and plans. In crystal tradition it is often described as a stone that encourages action rather than waiting. The palm stone form adds its own purpose: smooth, rounded stones have long been held and rubbed as comfort or worry stones, turning a stone's symbolism into something you can feel in your hand.

Crystal Care
Pyrite is about 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, but it is sensitive to moisture and can tarnish, darken or rust over time in damp air. Keep it dry, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to keep the shine bright and store it away from bathrooms and humid rooms. Never soak it or use salt water. Keep it apart from softer stones it could scratch. Read about crystals to never put in water.
FAQs
Which size should I choose?
40-50mm is about the length of a large coin to a golf ball and fits easily in a pocket or pouch. 55-70mm fills the palm and makes a fuller, heavier desk piece.
Is this pyrite natural or coated?
It is natural pyrite, polished to bring out its own metallic shine. The golden color is the mineral's natural luster, not paint or plating.
Why is pyrite called fool's gold?
Its brassy golden shine fooled early prospectors into thinking they had found gold. Real gold is softer, much heavier and does not form the crystal shapes pyrite does.
Can pyrite get wet?
Keep it dry. Moisture can cause pyrite to tarnish or rust over time. If it gets wet, dry it right away with a soft cloth.
Will my palm stone look like the photo?
It will be the same material, finish and size range, but each stone has its own outline and natural surface marks. Small pits and lines are normal in pyrite.
What Is Pyrite?
Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral known as fool's gold for its brassy metallic luster. It forms in many rock types around the world, from Peru and Spain to the United States, and often grows as naturally perfect cubes. Its name comes from the Greek word for fire, because it sparks when struck against steel. Polished pyrite palm stones show its bright golden shine in a smooth, comfortable shape and feel noticeably heavy and solid in the hand, one of the first things people notice when they pick it up.
