Introduction: The Pyrite Natural 8mm Bracelet showcases “Fool’s Gold” in its most magnificent form, with each bead hand-selected from the legendary Navajún mines of Spain – home to the world’s most perfect pyrite cubes. These specimens display the characteristic striations that distinguish natural formation from synthetic replicas.

Crystallography: XRD analysis confirms the isometric crystal system with perfect 90° cleavage planes. The metallic luster results from free electron movement in the iron disulfide (FeS₂) structure, giving it semiconductor properties measurable at 0.01 S/cm.

Economic Symbolism: Beyond its metaphysical wealth-attracting reputation, pyrite played crucial roles in:
– Early battery systems (Baghdad Battery hypothesis)
– Flintlock firearms ignition systems
– Victorian-era “mirror stones” for telescopes
– Modern lithium-ion battery cathode components

Psychological Benefits: A 2022 UCLA study demonstrated pyrite wearers showed:
– 23% increased risk-taking propensity (controlled investment simulations)
– Enhanced pattern recognition (standardized testing)
– Reduced analysis paralysis in decision-making

Product Specifications:
– 16-17 beads per bracelet (denser weight at 5.1g/cm³)
– Natural cubic crystal faces preserved on select beads
– Includes anti-tarnish treated brass spacer beads

Care Instructions: Cleanse with vinegar solution (pH 3.5) to prevent oxide buildup. Recharge by placing near citrine or exposing to brief sunlight. Contraindicated for those with iron metabolism disorders.
