Collection: Shungite (Noble Shungite) – Properties, Origin & Special Features | Gemstone Encyclopedia

dating back 2 to 2.2 billion years. It can be assumed that Shungite has always been used as a healing stone by the population of Karelia. The first historical records date back to the late 16th century.

Composition of Shungite
Carbon is the basis of all life on Earth. In every living creature – after the oxygen bound in water – it has the largest proportion by weight, because living tissue is made up of organic carbon compounds.

The three best-known forms of pure carbon are diamond, graphite, and fullerenes.

Russian scientists are constantly researching the special properties of Shungite. To demonstrate the effect of natural "Marzial water," they prepare it in their laboratories by extracting larger quantities of fullerene C-60 from noble Shungite using a special process and adding it to water. Water enriched with Shungite fullerenes is called a molecular colloidal solution. This is a term from colloid chemistry and describes the finest particles in a liquid.
When we place Shungite in water, fullerenes can also dissolve from the rock, thereby enriching/energizing our water.

Noble Shungite
Elite Shungite is ideal as a water stone – both our larger stones and our grit. But noble Shungite also looks great drilled as a pendant on a silver chain.

Shungite Shape - Sphere - Pyramid - Cube - Egg
The shape of the sphere can be found everywhere - in flora and fauna, in the smallest atom and in the largest star. As a shape, it has the smallest surface area but the largest volume. It is the ideal basic shape for life. The sphere is the symbol of wholeness and is very well suited to finding our inner balance. It conveys equilibrium, security, and tranquility.

The pyramid has a beneficial influence on humans, animals, and plants. After setting up a Shungite pyramid with the same angles as the Cheops Pyramid, the energy level can increase.

Shungite Cylinders (Pharaoh's Wands) - cylindrical rods were often found with Egyptian statues. The pharaohs and adepts of ancient Egypt used the cylinders for medicinal purposes. The cylindrical rods are a pair of opposites used to balance inner energy (Yin and Yang). One of the rods is made of Shungite and the other of talc chlorite (soapstone).

The cube, with its compact, stable shape, has a securing and stabilizing effect. It resonates with the first chakra and is therefore ideal for grounding oneself. It helps "stay focused" and is therefore well suited for working and learning.

The egg has a harmonious effect and connects two poles. The egg symbolizes life itself, development, and continuity. The Shungite egg can support those people who are at a threshold to something new.

Shungite as Jewelry - Energy Stone - Palm Stone
The effect of jewelry worn on the body - noise, stress, and negative influences should be fended off here. In addition, Shungite jewelry looks very elegant on the wearer and goes with almost everything. Shungite jewelry is available in various forms, e.g., pendants, tumbled stones, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, Tree of Life pendants, Flower of Life pendants.

Palm stones are there when a person pauses, both on the go and at home. Whether for a short break or for putting your feet up and relaxing. Palm stones help you break the daily routine and let some calm set in.
Shungite - Noble Shungite as Raw Stone - Powder for Energizing Water / Gemstone Water
Shungite raw stones / powder - A completely natural stone that shows no processing other than traces of mining is called a raw stone. Nature is like life itself. Ups and downs, and it describes surprising turns. It is sometimes smooth and sometimes rough and sharp-edged. It cannot be calculated. Transferred to the Shungite healing stone, the raw, unpolished form symbolizes originality, naturalness, and spiritual freedom. Due to its large surface area, Shungite / Noble Shungite shows a positive effect, especially in water.

Most Shungite shapes and figures are available in matte or polished finishes.
