This fiery stone manifests the protective and assertive male energy in both men and women and imparts an immediate increase in vitality.

It stirs the qualities of ambition, commitment and perseverance, and is an ideal stone for students.

This in turn increases mental clarity, focus and recall. And it’s a hell of a lot better for body and soul than slamming Red Bulls.
Pyrite is also a powerful protective stone and is ideal to wear or carry as an amulet, Pyrite guards against on-going control, criticism and manipulation by a partner, parent, or employer, lending the power to resist without becoming angry or emotional, thus changing the balance of power.
