Shungite is a rare black stone made of up to 99 percent carbon. It’s mainly found in Shunga, a village in Karelia, Russia.

The stone has a unique composition. It contains fullerenes, or 3-D spherical molecules made of 60 carbon atoms. These molecules are hollow and sometimes called buckyballs. Another cool thing about Shungiteis that it  consists of nearly all the minerals on the periodic table.

​

There are three types of Shungite - 

Black - Type 3 Black Shungite, 30-50% Carbon.

Petrovsky - Type 2 Shungite, 50-70% Carbon, Grey

Elite - Type 1 noble Shungite, over 90% Carbon, shiny.

​

A 2003 study found that Shungite can shield from electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions.
