Pyrite 
Prosperity | Protection | Masculine Energy
 
Known as Fool's Gold, Pyrite comes from the Greek for 'fire stone' because it is believed that Pyrite, a sparkling stone, held fire in its core. Pyrite is an excellent energy shield, blocks out negative energy and pollutants at all levels, preventing energy leaks from the physical body and aura and deflecting harm. 
 
Pyrite sees behind the facade. It is helpful for men who feel inferior, it strengthens confidence in masculinity but may be to powerful for 'macho' men, initiating aggression. Pyrite is very fast acting and is particularly helpful for getting to the root of problems.
