Shungite (or Shungit) is a rare, ancient healing stone, named for the only place in the world where it can be found - Shun'ga, Karelia, in the northern region of Russia. It is a non-crystalline metamorphic rock containing a very unique form of Carbon - the Fullerene or Buckyball. Shungite is said to be helpful in protecting us from undesirable emf's emitted from the technology we are surrounded with in our daily lives - like cell phones, computers, tv, microwave, etc. The way I see it ... this stone being shares it's natural filtering property in such an open way as to remind us how to to filter any undesirable energies ourselves. It reminds us that we can do it too : )
Noble Shungite (aka Crystal Shungite or Silver Shungite) is more lustrous in appearance than regular Shungite. It shiny and silvery. It almost looks metallic. The difference runs deeper than mere appearance. While regular Shungite contains approx. 30% carbon, Noble Crystal Shungite has a much higher carbon content, ranging from 70% to 94% and a higher fullerene content. It also doesn't leave behind the same black residue on your skin when you handle it, as the regular Shungite. You may get a little bit of black on your hand but it's nothing like its other form. Noble Crystal Shungite is a very rare and highly coverted type of Shugite.
These raw Noble Crystal Shungite crystals range in size from approx. 3/4" to 1-1/2".
