SHUNGITE

Shungite is a rare carbon-rich mineraloid primarily found in Karelia, Russia, formed from Precambrian deposits over two billion years ago. It typically appears as black, lustrous, opaque stones with a smooth to slightly rough texture, sometimes exhibiting metallic reflections. In folklore, Shungite was valued for its protective and purifying properties. Metaphysically, it is believed to absorb negative energy, enhance grounding, and support physical and emotional healing. The stone is also thought to improve clarity, balance, and connection to higher consciousness and spiritual energy.
