Gemstone of the month: Pyrite Keywords: willpower-self-confidence-provides insight-manifestation Pyrite is one of my favorite crystals and is most beautiful to me in its raw form.

The rough version appears to be made up of hundreds of small blocks and looks somewhat like a building. I use this stone when I am faced with a complex assignment or need clarity and confidence.

With its soft light pink color and fine energy, this stone is a favorite for many. I have a rough rose quartz in my studio and a pyramid shape at my altar.
