Pyrite means "fire stone" as it creates sparks when struck, and has been used for thousands of years as a means of starting fires. Historically it was considered a magic stone and a stone of protection, and was worked into amulets. It encourages self-realisation, showing us both our light and dark sides.

It is also useful in clarification, on both emotional and diagnostic healing levels, and for uncovering suppressed memories. It is considered still to be a stone of protection, and can shield one against negative energy on many levels. As the crystals form cubically, it can also be used as a grounding stone (the cube being a symbol of Earth). Many believe it has the blessing of abundance.
