A Samara is an independent dry indehiscent fruit which has part of the fruit wall extended to form a wing (i.e. not a winged seed inside another type of seed pod). This is the fruit of a Maple (Acer). This is a Schizocarpic Samara, because the fruit splits into its separate Samaras.
As a talisman, Pyrite is a unique protector, drawing energy from the Earth through the physical body and into the aura creating a defensive shield against negative energies, environmental pollutants, emotional attack and physical harm.
Pyrite is a Greek word for fire and it sometimes is called many different names including Marcasite and Foolâs Gold. Pyrite resembles gold in that it is yellow, or brassy yellow and looks like gold. It is ironic that lots of gold found throughout the world include small inclusions of Pyrite.
