Magnetite & Pyrite

Lovely gold Pyrite in a black Magnetite from the Chino Mine in New Mexico.

Magnetite was named for Magnes, a Greek shepherd, who discovered the mineral on Mt, Ida. He noted that the nails of his shoe and the iron ferrule of his staff clung to a rock.

Magnetite & Pyrite is referred to as "Healer's Gold" in the metaphysical world, it is believed these cabochons renew your energy!
