AUGUST - FIRE & LIGHT
🔥 Crystal Pick Number 2. - Pyrite 💥
Often referred to as Fools Gold, this sparkly stone is a favorite amongst market goers. They are often drawn to our stall because of its shine. Pyrite is one crystal type that has numerous Geometric growth habits but the most common that it is known for is the Cube. It is found all over the world but some of the best quality specimens in the various growth patterns and with other mineral types is from Peru.
A combination of Sulphur and Iron these both contribute to its coloration, metallic look and oxidization however it is worth while noting that Pyrite is known to often contain gold particles. Pyrite is a popular choice for manifestation as it bridges the physical with the spiritual realms. For this reason is a good stone to reach for to quite the mind particularly if you overthink or suffer from fear based anxiety.
I am mentioning it this Month as it corresponds to the Element of Fire and the Astrological Sign of Leo, in fact it gets its name from the Ancient Greek word pyro meaning Fire. It is seen to primarily correspond to the Solar Plexus, however it is also associated with the Third Eye, and Base Chakras in our physical body and also the Soul Star Chakra.
Through its Color and connection to the Sun it is often associated to the Sun God Ra and for such reasons it is believed to promote overall vitality and wellbeing. Its definitely one that carries positive vibes and it will have you feeling good about life in genetal.
Whether you are seeking abundance, protection, mental calm or courage all those things connected to us recognizing our own Divine Light and being in our personal Power, Pyrite is the perfect choice for me to share with you this month.
