Shungite Crystals

Shungite Crystals

Shungite is a unique black stone composed of up to 99 percent carbon. Resembling coal in appearance, this stone has chemical characteristics unlike any other natural mineral substance. Its unique composition contains fullerenes, 3D molecules made of 60 carbon atoms that contribute to its striking texture.

Shungite was named after the Shun’ga Village in Karelia, Russia, the place of the first and largest Shungite deposits. Even today, the Republic of Karelia remains one of the richest sources of Shungite-bearing rocks.

The Russian people have recognized the remarkable power of the Shungite crystals, using them as a folk medical treatment since the 18th century. Even Peter the Great used Shungite for purifying water. He set up Russia’s first spa to use these properties to purify water for the Russian army.

Besides being a water purification wonder, Shungite is commonly sought after for its healing properties. The Shungite crystals have a revitalizing effect on the body, easing skin conditions and helping with gastrointestinal problems and kidney stones.

Shungite also has a long history of serving as a shield against negative energy, toxicity, and even black magic.

This stone is particularly suitable for individuals born under the Gemini zodiac sign. These social butterflies can sometimes get carried away by their impulses, so they need a stone to keep them grounded and protected.
