Marcasite Body Carving from Nipomo
83mm, 120g
Agate + Pyrite
Marcasite is an Iron oxide that has the exact same chemical makeup of Pyrite, but forms in a completely different crystal structure. Unlike Pyrite, Marcasite does not exhibit a cubic identity, instead, it crystallizes in a variety of other forms, such as tabular, pyramidal, nodules, fibers, flakes, and masses. The color of both Iron oxides are extremely similar as well, with Marcasite being lighter in color and incapable of producing that “luster” Pyrite is known for. This mineral has a long history of being misidentified as Pyrite and wasn’t fully given its own classification until 1771 by J. Hill (further defined by W. Haidinger in 1845). Marcasite has been found throughout the world, with important deposits located in France, the UK, Brazil, and the United States.
Meaning & Energy
Marcasite has energies nearly identical to Pyrite, both offering up vibrations of magnitude and endurance while aligning one’s lower chakra system. Through this activation within our belly and groin area, one’s second brain (the gut) passively begins the internal prioritizing of what’s truly important to your soul. The one major difference we notice with Marcasite’s energy as opposed to Pyrite is the Earthly connection one feels during meditation practices. This has pushed our ideology of Marcasite in the direction of a rejuvenation and grounding crystal, as opposed to Pyrite, which is always being classified as the “personal will” and “manifestation stone”.
