The palm stone form is particularly popular for this: consciously holding and sensing the stone is said, according to traditional belief, to direct focus to the present moment and can thus be integrated into everyday life as a simple mindfulness ritual – it is said to support finding calm and concentration.

Care and handling

Pyrite is a comparatively robust mineral, but it should not be permanently exposed to moisture or aggressive cleaning agents, as iron sulfide can oxidize with prolonged exposure to wetness. For cleaning, a dry or slightly dampened soft cloth is sufficient. Direct, prolonged exposure to sunlight should also be avoided. It's best to store your palm stone separately to avoid scratches from harder minerals.
