Quartz with pyrite cluster
Pyrite is known as "Fool's Gold" and symbolizes protection, abundance, and vitality. It is believed to attract wealth, boost confidence, and shield against negative energies. Physically, it's said to support the respiratory and circulatory systems and is sometimes used by caregivers for its protective properties. Its golden appearance and connection to the solar plexus chakra further emphasize its link to empowerment and action.
Quartz crystals, particularly clear quartz, symbolize clarity, healing, and spiritual growth, believed to amplify energy, promote balance, and dispel negativity. It is known as a "master healer" that can absorb, store, release, and regulate energy, making it useful for spiritual practices, meditation, and balancing the body's energy systems. Historically, quartz was used for talismans, divination, and as a form of decoration.
