It is often associated with the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solar-plexus\"\u003eSolar Plexus chakra\u003c\/a\u003e, linked to personal power and drive, and it's a common choice among stones for \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/manifestations-abundance\"\u003emanifestation and abundance\u003c\/a\u003e.

Keep it completely dry, store it away from humid bathrooms or windowsills, and wipe it only with a soft, dry cloth. Never soak or cleanse it in water, salt, or salt water. Because this piece is rough and unpolished, wash your hands after handling it, as raw mineral surfaces can leave a fine dust on your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is a Pyrite Rough Chispa?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a raw, unpolished piece of natural pyrite (iron sulfide) left in its rough mineral form, with bright metallic gold cubic faces.
