Pyrite Necklace | Glacier Lily

Pyrite gemstones are a pale brassy-yellow iron sulfide gemstone with a metallic luster. The color and luster resemble gold, earning it the nickname “fool’s gold.” Pyrite isn’t a birthstone, but it is an astrological stone! The golden gem is a zodiac stone for Leo, as well as a star stone for the sun and Mercury.

Ancient Incas viewed pyrite as a tool for magic and meditation, while Native Americans used polished ones as mirrors. Elsewhere, like ancient Sumerian texts and Medieval poetry, the stone represented things that were “overvalued.” 

If it was a symbol of the overrated, does pyrite bring good luck still? Absolutely! In fact, some nicknames for pyrite include “Stone of Wealth” and “Stone of Luck.” Symbolically, pyrite stone’s spiritual meaning is one of mental fortitude, abundance, and imagination.
