Pyrite Lucky Cat Carving | Maneki-Neko Fortune Cat

Meet our hand-carved Pyrite Lucky Cat, a natural stone take on the classic Japanese maneki-neko ("beckoning cat") figure. Each one is carved by hand from genuine pyrite, so the metallic golden-silver flash and sparkle across the fur, bow, and coin is completely natural stone, not paint or coating.

• Abundance - pyrite is long associated with prosperity and is nicknamed "fool's gold" for its metallic shine
• Protection - believed to form a shield against negative energy
• Confidence - said to support willpower, action, and manifestation
• Good Fortune - the lucky cat pose itself is a traditional symbol of luck and prosperity

Pyrite is composed of iron sulfide (FeS₂), which is what gives it that signature brassy, metallic luster. You can read more about pyrite's formation and properties in our Crystal Encyclopedia.
