Metaphysical & Healing Properties

While many of our customers find spiritual and energetic resonance with our crystals, all metaphysical and healing claims are based on traditional and cultural beliefs. These statements have not been evaluated by licensed medical professionals and are not intended to replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. We do not recommend using crystals as a substitute for conventional medical or psychological treatment and do not claim they cure or heal medical conditions.

Natural Beauty & Authenticity

Our crystal pieces and lamps are naturally formed and carefully extracted. Inclusions, druzy pockets, surface texture, and color variations are part of their authentic character—not flaws. These features reflect the raw beauty and ancient story held within each stone. We honor these natural distinctions and hand-select every piece with care, ensuring quality, integrity, and a touch of magic.

 Also known as fool’s gold, Pyrite is the most abundant sulfide mineral.  This iron sulfide has a metallic luster and pale brass yellow color that is very similar to gold.  The name pyrite is derived from the Greek word pyr, which means fire.  These gemstones can be used to create sparks if struck together.  In fact, there are sometimes used in flintlock firearms.  It can be found in many shapes and sizes, including cubes or dodecahedral shapes.  Sometimes, it is also incorrectly marketed as Marcasite, which has a similar appearance but is a completely different mineral.  Pyrite is often mined alongside more precious metals like gold, copper, silver and platinum.  Deposits are found worldwide but more productive mines are located in the United States, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Romania, Canada, and Sweden. 

History

Pyrite has used as both and metal and sulfur throughout our history.  Ancient Greeks, Romans, Incans, Native Americans amongst many other of the earliest cultures have used pyrite in creation of their civilization’s cultures.  The Greeks polished it for the production of pins, earrings and amulets.  The Mayan and Aztec civilizations created mirrors using pyrites as did the people in Victorian Britian.  In many cases, the pyrite mirrors were included as part of the ceremonies attire that priests and noblemen might wear.  In Victorian Britian, pyrite was not only used for mirrors, but it was also a favorite stone for the creation of rosettes, shoe buckles, rings, necklaces or other pieces of jewelry.  The Native Americans would use the stone for a spiritual tool for mental and physical healing.
