It stirs the qualities of ambition, commitment and perseverance,

both men and women. It boosts women’s self-worth and helps
overcome tendencies toward servitude and inferiority.
9. For men, it instills a feeling of confidence in one’s masculinity and
supports the enthusiastic expression of male eroticism.
10. This mineral shields the body from environmental pollutants, as
well as contagious diseases. It may be useful in fighting colds, flu
and other viruses, skin diseases and fungal infections, and may
be beneficial in treatments for highly infectious diseases. It has
also been used to lessen fever and reduce inflammation, and is an
excellent stone of protection for caregivers and medical workers.
11. Pyrite is a crystal of positive energy, and is extremely helpful for
melancholy and thoughts fixed on misfortune and despair. It
relieves anxiety and frustration, and as a mirror to the self, reveals
the causes behind these emotions and promotes a search for
solutions.
12. Pyrite also allows one to see beyond pretense, to what truly lies
behind words and actions. It provides the insight that often things
that disturb us in others are also present in us.

13. Pyrite’s energy is empowering to the spirit, encouraging one to
overcome fears and take action. It increases one’s will to
accomplish whatever tasks one sets out to do, and can be used to
bring one out of one’s shell, becoming more dynamic and
confident.

Pyrite is particularly stimulating to the Third, or Solar Plexus Chakra,
the energy distribution center and the chakra of relationships.
This chakra is located between the ribcage and navel, and controls
the immune and digestive systems.
