SPARKLY! I think we can all agree that Pyrite is fun to look at. It just seems to grab your attention and your imagination all at the same time. I remember the first time I saw a chunk of Pyrite as a kid; I was giddy thinking about how that rock made the guy who had it on his desk SUPER RICH! I admit it, as a kiddo, I was fooled by fool's gold.
However, I still really love Pyrite. It is present in other stones like Lapis Lazuli, offering its golden sheen as a compliment to the cobalt blue. Yet it is even more beautiful on its own.
Pyrite is common and easy to come by. It is mined all over the world as is one of the most widespread abundant sulphides in the world. Pyrite can be found in large and/or fine crystals which come from Italy on Elba and at Piedmont, in Spain, Kazakhstan, in the United States from Colorado, Illinois, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Montana, Washington, and Missouri, and also in Peru.
Never use Pyrite in an elixir or ingest it in any other way.
