Pyrite is a sulfide mineral with the chemical formula FeS2, also known as "fool's gold."

The Legend of "Fool's Gold": A popular legend about pyrite says that it was used by ancient alchemists in the search for the philosopher's stone and gold. It is said that they were looking for gold but often returned with pyrite, because it has a shiny appearance similar to gold. They called it "fool's gold" because it seemed to be gold, but in reality, it was just pyrite, a stone that has no gold value. However, this legend has also been interpreted in a deeper sense, suggesting that true treasure and wealth are often hidden in things that may not look like it at first glance, and that real gold is not always what you see with your physical eyes but can be found in wisdom, knowledge, and inner experiences.

Pyrite is often associated with the solar plexus chakra area, it can stimulate this energy area, helping to increase self-esteem, develop personal power and strengthen willpower.

Pyrite was often considered a "stone of prosperity" and was said to bring positive energy financially.
