Iron Pyrite

Iron Pyrite is an excellent stone for grounding and connects us to the Sun. It's very calming for those who suffer from stress and nervous exhaustion because it behaves like a weighted blanket, making us feel secure, and that we are in a safe place. Pyrite has also been called "Fool's Gold" because the first explorers to come across it mistook it for gold, thinking it was going to make them rich. Well interestingly, Pyrite strengthens our Solar Plexus Chakra, which is the centre in our body for prosperity and drawing in abundance. Pyrite says, "I am here to remind you to celebrate all your gifts in this life! I will give you confidence and fortify your Birthright to do exactly what you love if you will only reach for it!" :)
