Pyrite has been used to help with protection, abundance, and mental clarity. It has been used as a shield stone for centuries — its reflective metallic surface is believed to deflect negative energy and environmental pollutants, including electromagnetic frequencies from electronic devices.

It is also believed to attract abundance..

Pyrite’s resemblance to gold has made it a natural symbol for wealth and prosperity. Practitioners use it in manifestation work, money grids, and prosperity altars. The reasoning is not that pyrite literally attracts money, but that working with it reinforces a wealth-oriented mindset — which then influences behaviour and decision-making.

This stone also includes strong protective properties. Energy workers place pyrite in homes and offices to create a defensive energetic boundary. It is also carried during travel or in situations where you feel psychically vulnerable.
