Pyrite is called “Fool’s Gold” because it resembles gold to the untrained eye. Pyrite is named from the Greek word for fire (pyr) because it is said that it can create sparks for starting a fire when struck against metal or stone.

Pyrite Metaphysical Properties
Pyrite has long been valued as a strong protection stone that shields the wearer from negative energy as well as environmental pollutants. Thus, this stone helps promote physical well-being as well. Stimulating the second and third chakras, pyrite enhances strength of mind and willpower. Pyrite is also sometimes considered to be lucky, attracting wealth and abundance. Though not a birthstone, pyrite is most commonly associated with the zodiac sign of Leo.
