Natural Black Shungite – Small Specimen Pieces
Priced at $0.45 per gram, these small specimens are a cost-effective way to integrate this "stone of life" into your collection or daily routine. These pieces are hand-selected for their deep, matte finish and high carbon density.
Product Overview
Shungite is a rare, non-crystalline mineraloid consisting of more than 98 weight percent of carbon. It is famous for containing fullerenes—hollow, cage-like carbon molecules that are the subject of scientific study. These small fragments are perfect for those who want the raw energy of the stone in a size that fits easily into pockets or small display jars.

Important Notes
Because of its high carbon content, raw Shungite may leave a slight black residue on your hands when first handled. This is a natural characteristic and a sign of authenticity. You can easily remove this by rinsing the stones under lukewarm water. While durable, Shungite is relatively soft and should be stored away from harder stones like quartz to avoid scratches.
