The Ancient Incans, Greeks and Egyptians all valued Marcasite. It was not uncommon to see Cleopatra herself adorned in Marcasite. Marcasite was especially popular in the 18th and 19th centuries of Edwardian jewelry when it was most commonly cut into tiny stones and set in sterling silver. The Art Nouveau period and The Gilded Age favoured marcasite, often pairing the stone with pearls and diamonds. The popular vintage jewelllery movement in the 90s has brought marcasite to heightened popularity once again.

Marcasite Metaphysical Properties

Marcasite is said to be a gemstone used for powerful meditation. Marcasite gems aid in introspection and tend to resonate more strongly with higher, more spiritual chakras. According to many beliefs, marcasite is a talisman associated with wisdom, courage and expression.

Metaphysical properties of marcasite also suggest it is a stone that inspires creativity when it comes to the arts and architecture. The stone helps fight intellectual fatigue, making it a favorite for students who are studying for big exams.

To clean marcasite, gently wipe with a very soft, damp cloth.
