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.

Origin & Location

  • Source: The Zazhoginsky Mine, Karelia region, Russia.

  • Geology: This is the only place on Earth where high-quality Shungite is found. It formed approximately 2 billion years ago from ancient organic sediments.

Specifications

  • Price: $0.45 per gram.

  • Material: Natural Black Shungite (Type II).

  • Carbon Content: Approximately 30% to 60%.

  • Hardness: 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale.

  • Color: Deep charcoal black with a matte to semi-shiny luster.

Key Features

  • Conductivity: Genuine Shungite is electrically conductive; you can verify authenticity by testing these pieces with a multimeter.

  • Purification: Often used as a natural filter or for water purification due to its unique carbon structure.

  • EMF Shielding: Highly popular for its purported ability to harmonize and shield against electromagnetic frequencies from electronic devices.

  • Grounding: Associated with the Root Chakra, it is often used during meditation to provide a sense of stability.

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.
