Pyrite, also known as pyrite, is an iron sulfide. It is the most common of all sulfide minerals. The name pyrite, derived from the Greek word pyritēs (πυρίτης), meaning "from fire" or "in fire". The name probably comes from the fact that pyrite sparks when struck against steel or flint. Pyrite was used, for example, in early firearms equipped with a ratchet. Pyrite is a light golden yellow in color.

Pyrite, which imitates gold, represents wealth, abundance and happiness. The faceted and shimmering bright pyrite is said to symbolize fire and masculine energy in particular. It is believed to promote physical well-being and protect against environmental hazards and physical dangers.
