MARCASITE is an iron sulfide mineral with an orthorhombic crystal system and a hardness of 6 to 6.5. It is chemically identical to Pyrite, but it is lighter in color, with different crystal growth habits.
Marcasite enables one to see the interpenetration of the spiritual and physical worlds. It allows one to see how physical events mirror spiritual archetypal patterns, and it give clues in regard to the actions one can take to resonate with the spiritual patterns one wishes to embrace. On another level, it assists one in “walking the talk” of spirituality in one’s everyday life. Marcasite helps balance polarities in the energy system. It clears the auric field of disharmonious influences and helps cut attachments to others with whom one may have unhealthy relationships.
Through these three lowest chakras, Marcasite works to optimize one’s life force and courage, sexual energy, creativity, willpower and mental clarity. When these chakras are charged and balanced, the heart and the upper chakras have much more energy to work with and one discovers new enthusiasm for all one one’s pursuits, inward and outward.
