PYRITE

Pyrite or fools gold is a common mineral with a large iron content. It is named after the Greek word for fire, when it was discovered it could generate a spark.

Pyrite is very protective and can be used to block and shield you from the negative energies of other people or places. Pyrite is quite reflective and is like a mirror so quickly deflects the negative energies, is also energising for the aura because it creates a large energy field within the aura itself. Pyrite is also said to protect you from the common cold and flu virus.
