Pyrite Squares

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.

Navajun, Spain is an area where the conditions for forming pyrite have been perfect for millions of years. Navajun is located within the Cameros Basin, on the eastern side. In this basin, a perfect mixture of aquifers settles above rocks which are subject to low-grade hydrothermal metamorphism. In simpler terms, there is just the right amount of pressure, minerals, and water to produce massive pyrite crystals, such as the one seen below.

Though pyrite can be found all over the world, the mines in Navajun produce some of the biggest and most intricate pyrite clusters available. Sometimes, the natural clusters are so big and interconnected that it seems only an abstract artist could have imagined them. They are highly aesthetic, sharp, lustrous, and nearly perfect.
