Shungite, not be confused with Shugnite, is comprised of almost 99% carbon. It is known for its protection against EMFs (electromagnetic fields). EMFs can be found in daily used items such as refrigerators, microwaves, laptops/computers, and cell phones and have been noted for their potentially harmful side effects. In Russia, where the original vein was discovered shungite chambers have even been built to help treat depression! Researchers of shungite won a Nobel Prize for their discovery of fullerene found within the mineraloid which is a natural anti-oxidant and can purify water! 

The origin of shungite is a mystery. Typically, materials made of carbon come from decayed organic substances like old forests. But the stone is thought to be at least 2 billion years old. This is before organic life existed on the planet.

Some theories of shungite’s origins include:

  • a large meteorite collided into Earth and deposited shungite into the ground
  • shungite formed due to microorganisms in nearby water
  • the composition of organic matter in sedimentary rocks changed over time

Pretty neat stuff!
