Iron Pyrite

Pyrite, also referred to as “fool’s gold” or "cat's gold" is traditionally used in rituals meant to attract prosperity and abundance, especially when worn or carried in the wallet or purse. Pyrite gets it’s name from the fact it can create a spark of fire when struck, and so it is also associated with elemental fire, the Sun, and the planet Mars. Because it is made of iron, and associated with both Fire and Mars, this stone is also a powerful protector and should be carried whenever you need a boost of protection, confidence, or strength. It is also an ally for those trying to break out of codependent relationships.
