Care & Cleaning
Pyrite is a powerful stone of manifestation, action, and protection. With its beautiful golden luster and cubic crystal structure, it radiates pure solar energy. Because Pyrite contains iron, it requires very specific, dry care.
- Cleaning: ⚠️ Be careful with water. Pyrite must absolutely not get wet; this can cause the stone to rust (oxidize) and become dull. The safest way to energetically discharge Pyrite is by means of smoke (Palo Santo or white sage) or by placing it on a bed of Hematite stones.
- Charging: This stone is the embodiment of fire and sun. Preferably place it in the light of the early morning sun. Because Pyrite is so sensitive to moisture and oxidation, a Selenite charging plate is the safest and most effective way to deeply cleanse and fully recharge its energy.
- ⚠️ Please note: Store Pyrite in a dry place. In a humid bathroom, the stone can eventually lose its luster.
