Shungite pebble of approximately 30-40mm.
Shapes and dimensions may vary slightly from one stone to another.

Shungite owes its name to the place where it is extracted, in a Russian village called Shunga, located on the shores of Lake Onega.

According to legend, Xenia Godunov, daughter of Tsar Boris Fyodorovich Godunov (1551-1605), was unable to have children. But after drinking water from a spring that gushed forth from black stones, she regained her fertility and founded a large family.

However, the virtues of this water have been known for at least five centuries thanks to a legend that tells of a star crashing to Earth. This star then transformed into water.

Later, in the 18th century, the exploitation of the virtues of this lake and its stones developed thanks to Emperor Peter the Great (1672-1725). Initially, he went there with his doctor to treat his fragile health. He took baths, drank shungite elixir, and his health improved greatly. He regained vitality and energy.

He then decided to combat the dysentery that was affecting his soldiers. He had them drink shungite solutions renamed Waters of Mars in honor of the Roman god of war. Then, in the last ten years of his life, he built a spa near the springs and treated many people suffering from epilepsy or uremia. Thus were born the first spa treatments.

In 1996, Americans Robert Curl, Richard Smalley, and British scientist Harold Kroto were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Through their research, they discovered that fullerenes (the third known form of carbon) present in thermal waters are beneficial for certain diseases. Using shungite in natural preparations provides many benefits.

Shungite exists in two forms:

• Silver shungite, which is very rare, represents only 1% of all shungites. It has a very high fullerene content, approximately 98%.
• Black shungite: the most widespread and most used and easier to chisel due to its low fullerene content (between 50% and 70%).

It should be noted that when the concentration of fullerenes is less than 50%, we are talking about shungite rock and not shungite stone.

Some farmers mix shungite into the soil to make a natural mineral fertilizer. Shungite has the ability to retain moisture and provides calcium and phosphorus. Studies have been conducted on a few farms in Kazakhstan, and yields have increased by 20 to 40%.

Shungite's hardness ranges from 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale. In comparison, diamond has a hardness of 10, the highest on the Mohs scale.

Its existence dates back more than 2 billion years. It is believed to have originated as a result of the mineralization of plankton. Others claim that shungite originated from fragments of the planet Phaeton, located between Mars and Jupiter. It was destroyed, giving rise to the asteroid belt. Finally, other researchers have discovered a volcanic origin for shungite.

The main deposit of shungite is therefore located in Russia, in the village of Shunga, on the shores of Lake Onega.

Shungite is a stone of deep grounding. It promotes reconciliation with one's inner self. It eliminates discomfort by uncovering the causes of blockages related to childhood trauma. It allows one to move forward in life and find the courage to overcome difficulties encountered. It provokes a reconciliation with oneself, which engenders self-esteem, confidence, and assurance.

This beautiful black mineral is said to open its wearer to creativity and success. It acts as a shield against the harmful energies of certain people. It wards off jealousy, resentment, and negative influences.

Shungite is a stone with strong protective power against electromagnetic waves. It neutralizes radiation and disturbances caused by waves from modern wireless devices (computer, telephone, Wi-Fi, etc.). It effectively combats cosmo-telluric nuisances (faults, groundwater tables or underground rivers).

Furthermore, for your information, Régine Martino, a shungite specialist, has written a book entitled “Shungite, the energy of life”. To work in a serene atmosphere or simply to feel good at home, shungite can be placed anywhere and spread its protection.
