A unique black natural mineral, Shungite looks like a piece of coal. The composition of Shungite contains 93-98% of carbon and around 3-4% of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, vanadium, molybdenum, nickel, tungsten, and selenium and water compounds.
It is an intermediate product between amorphous carbon and graphite; a mineral consisting of fine-dispersed globular carbon in a crystalline phase and fullerenes, a special form of carbon. Fullerenes is a potent radical scavenger and antioxidant.
It is an absorbent (it absorbs substances from the environment), has anti-bacterial properties, is highly adhesive (adhesion is the ability of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another), and has radio screening action.
Shungite contains features and compositions that are rarely found elsewhere in the mineral world. Some specialists believe that there is no other source of this stone but a meteorite or comet that crashed on the planet a long time ago, perhaps million years back.

The Shungite is derived from the village of Shunga in Karelia, Russia where it was first discovered. The story of Shungite begins around 2 million years ago, in the paleoprotezoic age. Precambrian rocks consisted of some of the earth’s earliest oil deposits. Shallow, brackish lagoons near chains of volcanos in western Russia were rich with sediments and algae. These specimen contributed to deposits of oil shale and crude oil. Later, when these deposits were subjected to heat and pressure, shungite formed into an almost pure form of carbon. It’s carbon purity isn’t this mineral’s only quality, though. In 1992, the fullerenes found in shungite threw the mineral world for a loop. Shungite, being a rich source of fullerenes, offers these health benefits to the individual using it. Shungite is the only known source on the planet that contains naturally occurring fullerenes, molecules of carbon. Fullerenes act as antihistamine and antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties, and can help reduce pain and stress. they assist in cell regeneration and cell growth. They help achieving healthy balance among all systems in the human body.
Properties of Shungite
By virtue of its particular structure, shungite has different physical, chemical and bioenergetic properties.
Shungite’s healing properties span the board from purity to protection. Shungite has

electricity conducting properties.
Removes any sort of radiation and it is utilized to protect oneself against electromagnetic waves that are the result of electromagnetic radiation. Common electronic items such as laptops, cell phones, computers, tablets, microwaves, TVs. and cell phone tower radiation.
In contrast to precious stones, it doesn’t charge contrarily. Actually, Shungite does not give its gainful impacts by light but rather by emanating a Quantum Vortex. It supports and actualizes the essential vitality characteristic in every individual, which is the reason it is suggested for individuals who constantly feel worn out and tired or fatigued This is the reason why it is a great idea to have it with you in times of flu, changes of season, times of general healing and over exposure to smartphones and anything that emits EMF’s.
Placing shungite at the base of a computer, microwave or around your various home electronic devices will not interfere with their operations, but will block out some of their free radial output.
It’s also used an elixer
There are quite a few ways of purifying water and making it safe to drink, including: boiling, iodine, chlorine drops, water filters, ultraviolet lights, and much more. The problem is that many of these methods, although they will kill the bacteria and organisms, it will also degrade the quality of the water and increase the number of salts and heavy metals present in the water. Other methods, like the use of chlorine or iodine, can introduce dangerous chemicals into the water.
This is why Shungite has become so popular for its use in purifying water.
Shungite elixers can be made by simply placing the mineral in water, and allowing it in a short time to purify. Drinking this purified water is said to have many beneficial qualities such as an increased rate of healing and cell growth, and detoxification of the body. In fact, the Czar Peter the Great established the first Russian spa, called Martial Waters in Karelia Russia, where people could bathe in spring water purified by natural deposits of Shungite. Modern tests since then have confirmed the amazing water has purifying capabilities and it is now commonly found in water filtration systems. Shungite has the ability to clean things like nitrates, chlorine, bacteria, and heavy metals from water. It also can clean the visual appearance of dirty water and improve the taste. Today, many Russians use shungite as a water purifier.
Due to its unique healing properties, Shungite has been widely and successfully used in cosmetics and medicine, as well as a general energy protector in a variety of circumstances.
The varied uses of Shungite amplifies the healing properties of headaches, back pain, blood pressure, inflammation and muscle pain. The antioxidants in shungite are forceful impactors on health and a fully functioning immune system. Shungite water is widely used to treat fatigue, allergies, blood pressure, anemia, bronchial asthma, gastritis, diabetes, as well as gallbladder, pancreas, kidney and liver diseases, cardiovascular system complications, undesirable mental states, liver, joint, spinal, and skin diseases. Shungite boosts the immune system and helps the body function at its best.
