Dark, lustrous pyrite shaped into round beads gives jewelry a satisfying weight and metallic shine. Each strand measures about 15.5 inches, and every bead is drilled with a 1 millimeter hole.
Choose 6 millimeter beads with about 63 per strand, 8 millimeter with about 50, 10 millimeter with about 40, or 12 millimeter with about 33. Pyrite beads look striking in men's bracelets, malas and layered necklaces, and they pair well with black onyx and clear quartz.
Pyrite is iron sulfide, the most common sulfide mineral, nicknamed fool's gold for its brassy color and metallic luster. Its name comes from the Greek word for fire, because it can throw sparks when struck. It has a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5 and can tarnish with moisture, so keep it dry.
Stone Meaning: Pyrite is traditionally associated with confidence and abundance.
How big is the hole? About 1 millimeter.
How many beads per strand? From about 33 at 12mm to about 63 at 6mm.
Will pyrite tarnish? It can with moisture, so remove before swimming or showering.
