The crystal habit is almost exclusively cubic, customarily attaining a geometric perfection found almost nowhere else in the world. Pyrite from Navajún has been appreciated by and highly sought after by mineral collectors for its unique, highly aesthetic, exquisitely sharp, brightly lustrous, near-perfect single cubic crystals, clusters of interpenetrating crystals, and crystals embedded in matrix. Some of the finest cubic pyrite crystals in the world come from Navajún. Due to its beauty and perfection, Navajún pyrite has become the icon of Spanish mineralogy since its discovery. The Victoria mine, is operated only for pyrite specimens, it is owned by Piritas de Navajún S.L., which is jointly held by Pedro Ansorena Conde, José Chaver Atanasio, and Néstor López Ogalde.

History

The name Pyrite derives from the Greek pyr or pyros, meaning “fire” for its ability to emit sparks when pieces are struck together or against a hard surface. The first report of these specimens appeared in the Mineralogical Record in an article by Wilson in 1976. Since then many thousands of pyrites have been collected and sold , world-class pieces can now be found in museums and private collections around the globe. Today, specimens are offered for sale at all the major mineral shows, including Tucson, Munich, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, Denver, and Changsha.

Birthstone

There is no specific zodiac stone associated with Pyrite.

Mineralogy

The origin of the pyrite crystals at Navajún has been tied to deposits of sulfate minerals found in the metasediments of the Cameros Basin. These veins are hosted by lake evaporites made up of alternating dolomite and gypsum. Pyrite, with the chemical formula FeS2, contains roughly 47 percent iron and 53 percent sulfur. Crystal faces are typically mirror smooth with a brilliant, mirror-like luster. They may also show growth hillocks in swirling patterns or oscillation striations. The color is characteristically a pale, brassy, golden yellow. And although pyrite from many worldwide locations is unstable, Navajún pyrite appears to be perfectly stable. The cause of the formation of such perfect cubes is of great interest to collectors and scientists. This morphology is believed to be the result of the particular temperature, pressure, acidity, and saturation of the fluids from which the crystals formed.

Metaphysical

Pyrite is an excellent stone of manifestation, allowing one to draw high-frequency energy into the physical body and utilizing it to take action in creating abundance for one’s life. Its frequency stimulates the creative flow of ideas and concepts, and helps one embrace their innate abilities and potential.

Pyrite is particularly stimulating to the Third, or Solar Plexus Chakra, the energy distribution center and the chakra of relationships. This chakra is located between the ribcage and navel, and controls the immune and digestive systems. Pyrite can also be used in body layouts for balancing polarities and creating harmony within the aura. It should be placed on the Third Chakra, in the hands, and at the Base Chakra to anchor one’s auric field firmly in the body, in proper alignment for optimal functioning of the spiritual self in the physical world. When balanced physically, we have strength to fight infections, are free of allergic reactions, and are able to use the nutrients we ingest. When the Solar Plexus is out of balance spiritually, we feel fear - of the disappointment or displeasure of others, or to subordinating our life and pleasures to the will of others. Spiritually, when the solar plexus is in balance we are free to interpret the world through our own thoughts and emotions and not live in fear of violating the dictums of others.

Golden Pyrite also identifies with the Sacral Chakra or Second Chakra, located below the naval and above the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis. It controls the flow of energy and is the center of gravity of the body. It is the center of the Life Force of the body, and controls the flow of information from the body to the mind and from the mind to the body. Gut feelings, intuition, and other \"non-linear\" communication comes from this chakra. When it is out of balance the symptoms manifest themselves as confusion, over dependency on others, repression of feelings, inability to feel joy, fear of sensuality or sex, and frustration. When the Sacral Chakra is in balance one has grace, feels pleasure in life, and experiences the flexibility to \"go with the flow\" and do so in good spirit.

Feng Shui

Pyrite utilizes Earth energy, the energy of stability, patience, honesty, balance, and resourcefulness. Use Pyrite to enhance any space that is a resting place, where you need to be firmly in control, safe, and protected. Earth energy is traditionally associated with the Northeast and Southwest areas of a home or room. These are the Skills and Knowledge area, and the Love and Relationship area.

Pyrite resonates with Fire energy, the energy of enthusiasm, warmth, brightness, illumination and activity. It is Yang in nature. It is the energy of heat, action, emotion and passion - of ideas, of concepts, and sex. Use its energy to give your life the boost it needs to enhance your standing in the community and within your family.
