Pyrite

Chakra: Base

Number: 3

Pyrite occurs in many forms: cubes, globes, dodecahedral crystals, etc, and is a pale brassy colour.

Pyrite offers a strong defence against many of the negative energies, and is an excellent protector for anyone involved in dangerous work. 

Pyrite also assists in seeing behind facades, and in divining true meaning from words and deeds.

In healing, it can be used to treat violent or virulent infections, as well as protecting those who work with the infected.  It can also be used to lessen fevers and reduce inflammation.
