Meaning & history
Pyrite naturally forms in cubic crystal clusters and takes its 'fool's gold' nickname from its resemblance to true gold. In crystal tradition, pyrite is a favorite for manifestation and abundance and good luck, often linked to the solar plexus chakra and personal confidence. The pyramid shape is a popular form for focused intention-setting, seen throughout our pyramids collection.

Care & cleansing
Important: Pyrite is chemically reactive and can tarnish, rust, or oxidize with moisture or humidity. Keep this pyramid strictly dry — never soak it, rinse it, or use it to make elixirs. Wipe it with a dry, soft cloth only, and store it with a silica gel pack in humid climates to help prevent oxidation.
