Shungite (elite)

Elite Shungite from Karelia

 

Shungite is a natural mineral or more correctly a mineraloid found primarily in one location in north west Russia.  All of the stones in our collection have been imported by Stone Mania from a supplier in Karelia which is home to the largest deposit in the world.  Although it can be found in a few other locations worldwide, over 90% of the existing supply comes from Karelia.

Shungite elite which is the finest grade available contains the highest percentage of carbon.  These stones are suitable for use in crystal healing, are sought after by collectors and may also be used for purification purposes.  Shungite elite has been proven to remove organic and inorganic substances, disease causing bacteria and traces of metals from contaminated water (original reference). 

Shungite is a lustrous stone that's surprisingly light weight, it has a unique texture and freshly mined material is covered in a soot-like residue. The fact that most of the world's supply comes from just one location means that it can be quite expensive.

Known to be at least two billion years old shungite is an amorphous or non crystalline solid that's correctly described as a mineraloid.  A non crystalline substance lacks any significant crystal structure so is void of crystals.  It's also believed to be the only natural mineral-like solid that contains traces of fullerene which is a molecular form of carbon.

Whether the reason for your interest in shungite be related to crystal healing, geology or petrology, it's a fascinating stone that you'll love having as part of your collection.

The price of our shungite elite is calculated according to weight.  Due to the volume that we handle it's not possible for us to photograph each piece individually.  Irrespective of the size and weight of the stone that you choose it will have a very similar appearance to the stones in our photo all of which are from our collection.

Our first photograph was taken with the aid of studio lighting but all others were taken outside in natural daylight.  The shungite elite stones that we currently have available are all medium to large sizes.  Size, weights and prices can be found below.
