Details
Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral with a distinctive brassy-gold metallic appearance and cubic crystal habit. In Feng Shui, it is directly associated with the Wealth & Prosperity (Southeast) Bagua area due to its gold-like appearance, which visually represents the Metal element. It is also used in the Fame & Recognition (South) area because its reflective surface embodies the Fire element's radiant quality. Practitioners place pyrite clusters on desks, in cash boxes, or near the front door to attract material abundance.
