First, let’s zero in on Pyrite. This glittering energy gets its name from the Greek word “pyr” which means fire. Beyond the as-if-lit-from-within glitter and glow of the stone, Pyrite has a strong connection to fire energy, Sun energy, masculine yang energy, and endless abundance. Activating its user’s solar plexus, Pyrite is a wonderful abundance stone, encouraging wealth, success in all forms, and prosperity. And in its especially cubic form, this Pyrite on Basalt Crystal, in particular, is an even stronger magnet for wealth. Pyrite also helps release negative energy and fears, especially fears that may be blocking you from achieving success, however you define it. Besides releasing negativity, Pyrite also creates a protective shield, protecting you when you venture out of your comfort zone and go after new opportunities. Pyrite is pure yang (masculine) energy, harnessing the energy of the Sun. It increases your stamina and strength, making it easier for you to reach your goals. It strikes a fire in your heart so that your willpower and well-being are boosted and you can take action to live the full abundant life that you’re meant for. Now, we turn our attention to Basalt’s intense powers. Don’t be fooled into thinking that Pyrite is the only rockstar of this duo! Basalt is a dark, inky, volcanic rock that was created by the rapid cooling of lava. Because it was once magma, imbuing it with unbelievably strong energy. All the heat and fire associated with Basalt is passed along to its owner, giving them vitality, power, and courage to make serious progress. It provides the made-of-steel backbone you need in order to pull off all of the gutsy goal-getting intentions that you ignited with the Pyrite.
