History & Lore
Pyrite derives its name from the Greek word pyr, meaning "fire." Pyrite can create a spark when struck and became a valuable fire starter in prehistoric times. Many ancient civilizations used Pyrite in jewelry, including the Greeks, Romans, and Incas. Ancients also used the reflective surface of Pyrite as a mirror. Today, we use Pyrite as a mirror for the soul to help us recognize harmful habits and establish new patterns with a positive, can-do attitude.
Qualities & Uses
Pyrite is a stone of manifestation, action, and determination, pulling from the Earth's abundant power to give us a refreshing dose of strength and vitality. Pyrite energies ignite our inner warrior, boosting confidence and generating the willpower to achieve goals and wealth through daily, focused effort. With each step, Pyrite grounds higher knowledge into movement, inspiring choices that nurture our community and world.
Name
The name Niva means “speech, expression, sun” in Hebrew and Latin.

Care
Crystals are best when they have a consistent opportunity to rest and re-energize in a process called “regeneration”. Use your intuition to choose the process and timing that most resonates with your relationship with Niva.
Elements bath - Moonlight frequencies amplify the natural vibrations of Crystals. Soil allows minerals to recalibrate to the vibration of the Earth. Fresh water can transfer energies that need to be released. Submerge your Crystal under your chosen element - whether it be a few minutes or even a full moon cycle.
Crystalline bath - Crystals can regenerate by being placed on other Crystals such as Kyanite or natural Citrine for 24 hours.
Breath/Meditation bath - Intentional breathing through meditation or any healing art is another restorative technique. As you breathe, imagine a ray of light passing through your Crystal, collecting what is no longer needed, and moving it back into the divine Universe.
