PYRITE
Pyrite is associated with the Solar Plexus Chakra – It is a mineral that is also known as ‘Fools Gold’. A common sulfide mineral that incorporates iron and other oxides and sulfides in quartz veins, metamorphic rock, and sedimentary rock settlements. Also found as a replacement mineral in fossils and coal beds.
Usually, formed as a cubic shaped crystal and sometimes fuses closely to appear in a framboid shape. This shape is a distinguishing factor between Pyrite and Gold. Pyrite is similar in colour; however, the form differs in that gold has an irregular shape and Pyrite has a cubic formation. Hence the reason for the term ‘Fools Gold’.
All crystals belong to a different group according to the basis of the relationships of their axes. There are seven systems and 32 classes of symmetry. These crystals belong to the Cubic system.
