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, also called iron pyrite or foolâs gold, a naturally occurring iron disulfide mineral. The name comes from the Greek word pyr, âfire,â because pyrite emits sparks when struck by steel. Pyrite is called foolâs gold because its colour may deceive the novice into thinking he has discovered a gold nugget.
