FAQs
1. What is pyrite stone?
Pyrite is a natural iron sulfide mineral with a brassy-golden metallic lustre. It is nicknamed "Fool's Gold" because it looks like gold, though it is a completely different mineral.
2. Is pyrite the same as real gold?
No. Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral, while gold is a metallic element. Pyrite is much lighter and more brittle, and it does not have the value of gold.
3. What are the benefits of wearing pyrite stone?
In crystal healing traditions, pyrite is believed to support confidence, motivation and prosperity. These are traditional beliefs and are not scientifically proven, so wear it as a personal choice and not as a substitute for medical or financial advice.
4. How do I clean and care for pyrite stone?
Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking it in water and keep it away from perfumes, chemicals and moisture, as these can dull its shine over time. Store it separately to prevent scratches.
5. Which sizes are available in your pyrite stone collection?
