How to Use Pyrite to Unblock Chakras
Pyrite is a protective stone with a bright brassy metallic color that often occurs in the shape of cubes. The crystal is composed of the minerals iron and sulfur so it’s able to draw the earth's energy up into the body providing stabilization, a sense of protection, and safety. Pyrite has many spiritual properties, uses, and benefits, so in this post, I’ll discuss the healing powers of Pyrite, which of the 7 chakras Pyrite is good for, how it protects you from negative energy, 5 ways to use it to open chakras, and how you can cleanse and charge your crystals.
the healing power of Pyrite
The vibrational frequency of Pyrite has historically been used for protection. Whether it’s from electromagnetic frequencies and negative energy, or to create a sense of safety and calm anxiety, it can loosen stagnant energy, unblock chakras, and bring strength to us when we need it.
What chakra is pyrite good for?
Even though some say the Pyrite crystal is associated with the sacral chakra or the solar plexus chakra because of its association with the fire element, I find that the vibration of Pyrite directly resonates with the root (Muladhara) chakra. Why? Pyrite resonates with the earth’s energy due to its mineral properties and when a crystal's vibrational frequency also resonates with the vibrational frequency of a chakra, the crystal can be used to loosen stagnant energy from the spiritual energy point and unblock it, allowing energy to flow.
The root chakra is the chakra that stabilizes the whole body, so if the root chakra is not strong, the whole body and energy field will be weak. Pyrite stones have beneficial qualities and grounding effects that help us embody our physicality, enhance our inner strength, strengthen the root chakra, and assist in manifestation. For these reasons, Pyrite is often used as a protective stone by caregivers and healers.
Want a crystal to attract wealth and help with manifestation? Help you feel grounded? Strengthen your physical body? Pyrite is the crystal for you.

Wear Pyrite as jewelry
HOW TO CLEAR AND CHARGE PYRITE
Pyrite is a hard, brittle crystal that can oxidize easily and lose its shiny brass color when exposed to water and air, so you’ll never want to submerge it in water for cleansing. Instead, try one of these ways to cleanse your Pyrite crystal when you feel it has lost its charge.
Bury Pyrite crystals in a bowl of rock salt or Himalayan salt overnight to clear and recharge (salt is hydrophobic so it will keep water from oxidizing the surface).
Charge Pyrite in the moonlight (most effective on a full moon)
Smudge your Pyrite crystal
Place Pyrite near Black Tourmaline or Hematite in a closed vessel and let sit overnight (Black Tourmaline and Hematite absorb negative energies).
Bury a piece of Pyrite in a bowl of rice to absorb lower vibrational energies (Crystal Clear Intuition)
Use sound that resonates at 396 Hz as this is the root chakra frequency and Solfeggio frequency for liberating guilt and fear. Fear blocks the root chakra.
That’s it, a summary of ways I use the Pyrite healing crystal to unblock the root chakra. Meditate with a piece of Pyrite, use it in your home decor to clear low vibrational energy, carry it with you for protection, use it in a crystal grid for the manifestation of wealth, or wear it as jewelry to help you ground and feel more present in your body.
