Metaphysical Healing Properties Of Iron Pyrite

Pyrite is thought to create a better balance and flow between right and left brain function.  This helps transform the intuitive and creative (right brain) thought into logical and well-reasoned (left brain) action.

These metallic crystals are often used to attract money and good fortune.  It is also widely used to protect against infections and viral attacks, and to help one attain a more ideal state of health.

Pyrite was very often used for scrying.  The Mayans, Aztecs and Incas, at one time, all were known to polish large slabs of Pyrite to a mirror-like finish which they used for this very purpose.  Native Americans believed they could look into one's very soul when peering into a polished piece of Pyrite.  Their shamans used it as "a stone of power," and their medicine men used it in certain healing rituals.  Pyrite has also been labeled the "Healer's Stone".
