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.
All of the Pyrites have distinct crystalline cubic shapes. Their color can be similar to gold but will shine differently under sunlight or shade, whereas gold will shine nearly the same under different lighting conditions and will not change color or sheen.
