Pyrite: The Stone of Abundance & Manifestation

Known as fool's gold for its metallic luster, pyrite is anything but foolish when it comes to manifestation. Discover why this bold stone is a favorite for abundance rituals.

Pyrite: The Stone of Abundance & Manifestation

The Golden Power of Pyrite

Pyrite, with its brilliant metallic luster and golden color, has captivated humans for millennia. While it may have earned the nickname "fool's gold" for its resemblance to the precious metal, those who work with crystals know pyrite's true value lies in its energetic properties.

Why Pyrite Is Called Fool's Gold

The name comes from miners who would mistake pyrite for gold. However, pyrite is actually iron sulfide (FeS₂) and has very different properties. Its name comes from the Greek "pyr," meaning fire—strike it against metal and it creates sparks.
