Shungiet

Typical colors - Gray, black metallic

Shungite is a very special healing stone that is only found in one place in northwestern Russia. Scientists believe it is more than 2 billion years old and may be one of the only known minerals on Earth to contain fullerenes, or molecules composed almost entirely of carbon. Shungite has been used to purify water since the 18th century. It is believed that the carbon composition of Shungite allows it to act as a purifier. Adding a piece of clean, tumbled Shungite to water is a safe gemstone elixir. Shungite also has the amazing property of serving as a conductor of electromagnetic and geothermal energy, while at the same time shielding the body by absorbing electromagnetic smog caused by microwave ovens, computers and Wi-Fi. The powerful vibration of Shungite, a highly grounding and protective stone, is felt almost immediately throughout the body as it exudes toxicity, negativity, and emotionally draining energy that causes illness from within. Because Shungite is such a workhorse, it needs to be cleaned and recharged on a regular basis to operate at its highest potential
