Lustrous pyrite means “stone or mineral which strikes fire’ in Greek. An August birthstone, Pyrite is a lucky stone believed to protect. Granular and globular, pyrite gives spirit by kindling the fire of universal light according to ancient wisdom.
Gaia is the personification of Earth in ancient Greek mythology. She is considered the primordial goddess of the Earth, often referred to as "Mother Earth." Gaia is believed to be the ancestral mother of all life and the source of creation, giving birth to the sky (Uranus), the sea (Pontus), and the mountains. She represents fertility, nature, and the nurturing aspects of the Earth.
In modern contexts, "Gaia" is also used to symbolize the Earth as a living organism, especially in environmental and ecological discussions. The "Gaia Hypothesis," proposed by scientist James Lovelock, suggests that the Earth and its biological systems behave as a self-regulating, interconnected entity, maintaining the conditions necessary for life.
