The source calls pyrite the “fire stone” and links its name to the Greek word “pyr”, meaning fire. It states that prehistoric people struck it with iron to create sparks, that ancient Greeks used it for jewellery, that Native Americans used it to make mirrors, and that miners later mistook it for gold, giving rise to the name “fool’s gold”.

In lithotherapy traditions, pyrite is associated with memory, concentration, intellectual and organisational abilities, creativity, positive energy, fulfilment and joy.

The source also attributes effects on anaemia, immunity, liver detoxification, hair and nails, skin conditions, bones, rheumatism, osteoarthritis, respiratory problems, bronchitis, ear infections, cystitis, viruses, fever, inflammation, circulation and digestion. These therapeutic claims are not medically or scientifically established. Wearing pyrite does not treat anaemia, infections, respiratory, digestive, joint or other medical conditions and does not replace healthcare.

Care: the source notes that pyrite can oxidise in contact with air and water and recommends gentler traditional purification methods such as white-sage fumigation or a Flower of Life symbol, followed by brief exposure near a window at sunrise or sunset.
