Pyrite carries a metallic gold shine and sharp, geometric crystal faces even after it's been shaped into a sphere, the kind of stone that looks more like something engineered than something dug out of the ground. It's a stone for the days you have to show up solid and certain, a presentation, a hard ask, a boundary you have to hold out loud instead of over text. Set it on a desk during a stretch of work that needs follow-through, or hold it in a closed hand for a minute before you walk into something that calls for backbone. Pyrite is an iron sulfide mineral, the same one people call fool's gold, and its natural cube-shaped crystal structure gives even a rounded sphere a faceted, geometric surface. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. Something solid to hold when solid is the assignment.
