Pyrite is a well-known protection stone, capable of shielding against negative vibrations and energies on all levels. Not only does it stimulate intellectual abilities, but it also enhances memory and aids in the retrieval of important information. On the Mohs scale, pyrite has a hardness of 6-6.5 and is characterized by its brassy color, metallic luster, and black streak. According to some beliefs, placing pyrite in the left corner of a home can amplify positive energy, as this corner is considered the prosperity space in Feng Shui. Additionally, it can bring luck and abundance when placed in a home office or workplace. Native Americans also used pyrite for its reflective properties, polishing it and using it as a mirror.
