Pyrite: chakra association (Solar Plexus), healing properties, and what it means when pyrite appears in a dream.
Pyrite is a metallic gold crystal associated with the Solar Plexus chakra and the Earth & Fire element. Pyrite — known as fool's gold — was long mistaken for actual gold, and that identity confusion is part of its symbolic story. In crystal traditions, pyrite is associated with the energy of bold action and material confidence: the willingness to pursue what you want without apologizing for it. It is a solar plexus stone that works with personal power, financial ambition, and the drive to see projects through.
