History:
Archaeological evidence reveals that humans have valued Pyrite for millennia, and small pieces have been found in numerous prehistoric burial sites. Pyrite’s name comes from the Greek word ‘pyr’, meaning fire because when struck with iron, Pyrite will emit sparks. During the Mesoamerican Classic period (CE 250-900), both the Mayans and the Aztecs used Pyrite to create mirrors. Most Pyrite mirrors were used as part of the ceremonial dress of priests and noblemen, typically worn on the back or belt. Larger mosaic mirrors were placed in temples or royal tombs. Pyrite mirrors likely symbolised noble lineage. Today Pyrite has lost much of its glamour and is often dismissed as “Fool’s Gold.” The nickname refers to a common mishap during 19th century gold rushes in which uneducated miners believed they had struck gold when they had actually found Pyrite.
