Metaphysical Properties

* Clears blockages in the Sacral and Solar Plexus chakra

* Protects from negative energy

Positive energy runs rampant in the Pyrite stone. It’s all about clearing away cobwebs of negative energy and ensuring that you never fall into the darkness but instead feel strong and compelled to step into the light. To help facilitate this inner strength and za zoom for life, Pyrite works on strengthening and clearing out the solar plexus chakra and the sacral chakra. These are the chakras that hold our deep-set passion and energy for life, our sexual prowess, and our perfect love of creative thought and action. When they are blocked we can feel as though our senses are deadened, but when awakened, we suddenly feel like we can soar.
