At its heart sits a raw pyrite cube, gold-plated to draw out the natural metallic lustre and multi-faceted brilliance. Known as "Fool's Gold" for its deceptive shine, pyrite is a stone of intellect and protection, believed to shield and sustain the wearer through challenging times.

The bezel setting is a spectacle in itself, featuring a square box shape with a hammered texture that beautifully contrasts the pyrite's precise edges. The hammered effect catches the light, adding a dynamic play of shadow and brightness to the pendant's surface.

Connecting the pendant to your choice of chain is a trio of concentric circular rings, ingeniously fused to create a single point of suspension. This design choice ensures that the pendant sits flush against the chest, making the "Pyrite Cube Beacon" not only an accessory but also a centerpiece that commands attention.

With dimensions that make it a perfect accent piece, the Gold Plated Pyrite Cube Beacon is designed for those who appreciate the convergence of natural gemstone allure and artistic metalwork. It is a token of nature's raw beauty, polished by human creativity to shine in any setting.

Historical and Cultural Use:

It was used by ancient civilizations as a mirror material and has been a stone associated with wealth and good luck. Pyrite's protective qualities were utilized in amulets and ornaments to ward off harm and danger.

Geological Properties:
Pyrite forms in various geological environments and is commonly found in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. It often occurs in cube-shaped crystals, as well as forms such as pyritohedron and octahedron. The mineral can also appear in masses of small sparkling crystals known as druzy or druse, which is popular for use in jewelry and ornamental designs.

Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Pyrite is believed to promote leadership qualities, including assertiveness and confidence. It is thought to protect the user from negative energy and physical danger, making it ideal for those who undertake hazardous tasks. On an emotional level, pyrite can help to alleviate anxiety and frustration, promoting a positive outlook and bolstering self-worth.

Collectibility and Use:
Pyrite is popular among mineral collectors due to its distinctive crystal forms and its shiny, metallic appearance. It is also used in jewelry, typically as cabochons or incorporated into beads. Because of its strong association with prosperity, it is often used in feng shui practices to attract wealth and used in various metaphysical practices for grounding.

Care and Maintenance:
Despite its metallic appearance, pyrite should be handled with care to prevent decay due to oxidation when exposed to humid environments. To clean pyrite, simply wipe it with a dry cloth. It should be stored in a dry place and kept away from other harder gemstones to prevent scratches. Avoid using water for cleaning, as pyrite’s iron content can rust when exposed to moisture.
