Pyrite Sun
Pyrite Suns, also known as “Pyrite Dollars,” come from the coal mines of Sparta, Illinois, where they form deep underground in ancient shale deposits. Unlike typical pyrite cubes, these unique formations grow between layers of clay, radiating outward in a flat, disc-like shape. Over millions of years, pressure and mineral-rich waters create these shimmering metallic fossils that look almost like sand dollars, but instead of the ocean, they come from the Earth’s depths.
Metaphysically, Pyrite is known as a stone of protection, confidence, and abundance. Pyrite Suns, in particular, are thought to carry an extra layer of grounding energy because of their connection to the Earth’s deep, pressurized environment. They radiate outward like a burst of golden energy, making them a symbol of strength, vitality, and expansion.
Whether you’re drawn to them for their fascinating formation, their resemblance to celestial bodies, or their energetic properties, Pyrite Suns are a reminder of nature’s ability to create beauty and resilience under pressure.

*You will want to order at least 1/2" larger than the exact size your wrist or ankle measures.
