DESCRIPTION

Shungite is a unique gemstone that is primarily found in the region of Karelia, Russia. Geologically, it is believed to have formed over two billion years ago from the remnants of ancient organic matter, such as decomposed plants and microorganisms. This organic matter underwent a transformation under intense pressure and heat, resulting in the formation of a carbon-based mineral known as shungite. Shungite is composed mainly of carbon and contains fullerenes, which are unique molecular formations known for their potential health benefits.

Historically and culturally, shungite has a long history of use in Russia. It was used for various purposes, including purifying water, as a natural remedy, and for construction. Russian Tsar Peter the Great established the first shungite spa in the 18th century, where he and his army would receive water treatments. Shungite was also used as a building material for structures due to its unique properties, including its ability to resist electromagnetic radiation. Today, shungite is highly valued for its potential health benefits and is used in the production of jewelry, home decor items, and water purification systems.

Care Instructions

To properly care for shungite and prevent physical damage, it is important to handle it with care and avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or abrasive substances. Shungite can be cleaned using warm water and a soft cloth or brush if necessary. It is recommended to avoid using harsh cleaning agents or soaking shungite for extended periods. Over time, the appearance of shungite may change, as it can develop a patina or slight surface imperfections. This is a natural process and does not affect the energetic properties of the stone. To maintain its energetic qualities, shungite can be periodically charged by placing it under sunlight or moonlight, or by placing it on a bed of quartz crystals.
