(Commonly known as "Fool's Gold")

How to Cleanse & Charge:
- Sunlight: Pyrite loves the heat. Placing it in direct sunlight for a few hours "recharges" its fiery, masculine energy.
- Smoke Cleansing: Use Sage or Cedar smoke to clear its surface. This is the safest way to cleanse Pyrite without damaging its metallic structure.
- NO Water: Pyrite is an iron sulfide; never soak it in water, as it can rust, lose its luster, or even release toxic fumes in some environments.
- Citrine Buddy: Place it next to a piece of Citrine to amplify its "money-drawing" properties and keep its vibration high.
How to Use It:
- For Financial Success: Keep a piece of Pyrite on top of your business cards or near your computer to attract high-paying clients and successful deals.
- For Self-Worth: Hold it in your hands during a "power pose" before a big meeting or interview to boost your charisma and presence.
- For Protection: Keep it in your pocket when you are in a toxic environment to prevent others' negativity from sticking to your aura.
Where to Keep It:
- The "Wealth Corner": In Feng Shui, place it in the far left corner of your home or office (the Southeast area) to invite a constant flow of money.
- Work Desk: To help you stay organized, motivated, and energized through a long afternoon.
- Cash Register/Wallet: To symbolize and attract "like to like"—keeping your money safe while inviting more in.
- Front Entrance: To act as a "sentinel," ensuring that only positive, high-vibrational energy enters your living space.
