Pyrite

There’s just something proud about pyrite. Often found in bright, bold, sturdy little cubes, it can look so polished and perfectly shaped it can be hard to believe it forms that way naturally. Sometimes these cubes are even stacked jauntily, one atop another, making it look as if it were standing tall and upright, asserting its worth for all to see. Other times it’s found in golden chunks so bright we nicknamed it “fool’s gold.” Does it bother pyrite one bit to be called a fool? It certainly doesn’t seem to. And why should it? Sure, it might not be costly like gold, or be made into fancy rings or traded as currency, but its beaming nature beckons to us nonetheless. It’s one of our most beloved and best-selling minerals, treasured by rockhounds and crystal lovers alike. If pyrite is popping up for you now, the message for you is clear. You, like pyrite, shouldn’t have to prove yourself to anyone. Make a decision today to feel a bright and shining pride in yourself no matter what, and commit to standing up for your inherent worth no matter what anyone else might say about you.
