Pyrite is a stone composed of iron disulfide. It can also contain nickel, cobalt, arsenic, copper, silver, and even gold. It has a golden color that can range from yellow to brown. And this is unlike gold which always remains golden.
This stone, often confused with gold, is sometimes found in the composition of certain meteorites. This magnificent golden stone can be of sedimentary, magmatic or hydrothermal origin. It has a bright and metallic luster.
Pyrite typically has faces that are striated or polytwinned. It forms wonderful cubic and octahedral crystals. It has a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale.
The etymology of the name pyrite comes from the Greek "pyros” which translates to “fire”. Its name appeared in 50 AD and was given to it by the Greek physician and botanist Dioscorides. He named it thus because of its ability to produce fire. In fact, it produces sparks when it is shocked and is thus capable of lighting a blaze.
It subsequently appeared under various names such as iron pyrite, iron sulfide, etc. Pyrite, its definitive name, was given to it by the Austrian mineralogist Wilhelm Karl Ritter von Haidinger in 1845.
Pyrite has also been nicknamed Fool's Gold. In fact, during the 19th century gold rush, many miners thought they were going crazy when they thought they had discovered huge deposits of gold, but they were actually just golden-shining pyrites.
The distinction can be made quickly: pyrite powder is black in color, while gold powder remains golden yellow. Pyrite was first used about 2,600 years ago. Anthropologists discovered that the mummified human named Otzi had pyrite on him, probably to make fire.
In ancient Greece, pyrite had medicinal properties. It was known to improve the quality of blood. The Greeks, as well as the Romans, also made pyrite jewelry, including necklaces and bracelets.
From the 13th to the 16th century, the Incas used pyrite to make thick convex mirrors. These mirrors were used in religious ceremonies. They were considered magical because they had the power to light a fire when the sun reflected on them without human intervention.
In the Middle Ages, pyrite was ground into powder and mixed with water to make eye drops. During the Renaissance, pyrite was once again used as a fire stone: it caused the sparks that ignited the first firearms on the battlefield.
Nowadays, pyrite is exploited in industry for the sulfur it contains. At the same time, it is used to make jewelry used in lithotherapy because of its many virtues.
The main deposits are located in Peru, China, France, Germany, etc.
In lithotherapy, pyrite is a stone that soothes stress, generates serenity and increases self-confidence. It optimizes intellectual properties. Indeed, it helps stimulate mental abilities. Wearing pyrite can lead to professional success, because the wearer has more confidence and willpower. He thus manages to exceed his limits and optimize his sense of organization. In addition, this stone is known to increase memory.
It is an anchoring stone. It helps to concentrate on the present moment and to ignore parasitic thoughts. It facilitates the evacuation of regrets, anxieties and buried fears. It is capable of boosting the faculties of reflection and concentration. Freed from negative energies, its holder will be able to invest more in his projects. In addition, the beautiful golden stone is a source of vitality and transmits a lot of willpower.
Pyrite is a real anti-stress stone. It helps to fight against negative emotions such as anguish, anxiety and it allows you to find calm. It overcomes fears related to change. It can be perfectly suitable for teenagers who have difficulty with the evolution of their body. It can soothe them. It is also recommended during painful events such as the loss of a loved one, a separation or an unfair dismissal.
