How to use it
Many people keep a pyrite slab on a desk, shelf, or workspace as a visual anchor, or hold it briefly during a moment of focus before starting a task. This is a decorative/collectible item, not a health product or medical device.
Care
Pyrite contains iron sulfide, so never use it to make gem elixirs or place it in water for extended periods — moisture can cause it to oxidize and degrade. Wash your hands after handling it, keep it in a dry spot away from humidity, and dust with a soft dry cloth rather than a damp one.
