Pyrite is excellent for increasing the power of the third chakra in both men and women. It imparts an immediate increase in vitality. It enhances willpower, assisting one in overcoming bad habits and establishing new patterns of health and positive energy. It aids one in overcoming anxiety and helps one establish a "can-do" attitude about whatever one has decided to attempt. It can screen out negative influences and give one the courage to banish them. Pyrite can be a helpful tool for balancing polarities and creating harmony within the auric field. Pyrite stimulates creativity in art, mathematics, sculpture, architecture, sciences and other disciplines. It feeds the qualities of ambition, commitment and persistence. It increases mental clarity and focus. It supports one in taking assertive action and developing the inner warrior for the benefit of the community. For men, it enhances masculinity and supports the sublime and enthusiastic expression of male eroticism.
Pyrite harmonizes with Zincite and Carnelian for male sexuality. Prehnite, Heliodor, Libyan Gold Tektite, Golden Labradorite and Citrine help Pyrite strengthen third chakra energies. For grounding purposes, Pyrite's ideal companion is Hematite.
