Pyrite has long been valued as a strong protection stone that shields the wearer from negative energy as well as environmental pollutants. Thus, this stone helps promote physical well-being as well. Stimulating the second and third chakras, pyrite enhances strength of mind and willpower.
 
Pyrite has a connection to the solar plexus chakra (chakras are strong energy centers within the body) and is used to increase strength, energy, willpower, and confidence. It's also a wonderful abundance stone, encouraging wealth, prosperity, and success. It's connected to the sun which has a bright, yang fire energy.
