Pyrite
Heavy beads with a bright metallic brassy shine, like little balls of gold, often with a slightly darker antique tone.
About pyrite
Pyrite is iron sulphide, a mineral known as fool's gold because its shine has fooled prospectors. Its name comes from the Greek word for fire, because it sparks when struck against steel.
In crystal tradition pyrite is linked with abundance, confidence and drive. It is said to attract prosperity and give a boost of energy and willpower.

Worn every day for its golden sparkle, on its own or stacked with tiger's eye and citrine. A popular gift for a new job or new business.
Care
Pyrite can tarnish if it gets wet. Keep it dry, take it off before washing or swimming, and roll it on rather than stretching it.
Crystal meanings describe tradition and belief, not medical advice.
