Pyrite Healing Properties
Ethically Sourced Pyrite
Know where your crystals come from
This gem dealer is a family business with deep ties to Peruvian miners. It was founded by an aunt in the USA and her nephew in Lima, Peru. The nephew buys from both miners and lapidaries in Peru, while the aunt imports the stones to sell at gem shows in the Western United States. The business is eco-conscious and workers are paid fairly.
I first spoke to the manager of the business after finding their website in early 2017 and met her in person at the Denver Gem Show later that year. I was cautious about doing business with them since they are the exporter, rather than the miners or polishers. After I studied their company, I was pleased by their dedication to ethical values. They focus on importing Fair Trade, Consciously-Made, and No-Harm Peruvian handicrafts. They have also worked to reduce their carbon footprint in their wholesale warehouse.
In 2019, I had a long conversation with the manager about ethical topics in the stone industry. She was willing to speak candidly about both the positives and the negatives. She also shared how she personally struggled with the ethical issues and her part in the supply chain. Whenever a shipment of goods arrives from Peru, she insists on smudging every box before it is brought into the warehouse. The manager introduced me to the mother of the current owner. A tiny woman, less than 5 ft tall, she was happy to reminisce with me about how she started the company more than 30 years ago. She had been a young immigrant mother, searching for a new life. Her nephew, back in Peru, shipped her a few buckets of Pyrite and asked her to see if she could sell them. She laughed to remember those days and radiated happiness and gratitude. Today, the business is run by her son and his cousin in Peru.
Pyrite Healing, Mineralogy, and History
Published January 2015 • Updated July 2022 • Read Time: 6 minutes
Pyrite is a sulfide mineral that is nicknamed “Fool’s Gold” because it is easy to confuse with that most precious metal. But look closer and you will soon discover they are very different indeed! Pyrite is a heavy mineral with a brassy yellow color, but it is nowhere near as heavy as pure Gold and when seen side-by-side it doesn’t have that unmistakable buttery yellow shine. Those seeking only earthly riches may be fooled, but those seeking something higher may find a good friend in Pyrite. It is a strong ally in the search for enlightenment and gives us strength and courage to do the hard mental work to see the Truth that is often hidden between greed and lies. […]
