Category: Shungite

Shungite is a rare black stone made of up to 99 percent carbon. It’s mainly found in Shunga, a village in Karelia, Russia. The stone has a unique composition. It contains fullerenes, or 3-D spherical molecules made of 60 carbon atoms. These molecules are hollow and sometimes called buckyballs. Along with fullerenes, shungite consists of nearly all the minerals on the periodic table. 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.

Users of shungite say the stone has the ability to shield you from EMF emissions. Many people refer to an old 2003 study, where shungite reportedly protected rats against electromagnetic irradiation. Yet, the study is outdated and only involves animals. This phenomenon has some support theoretically, but more research is needed to see if there’s any benefit for humans.

Touted as the Miracle Stone of the 21st Century,  It is now the go-to stone for electromagnetic field (EMF) protection, purification and detoxification of the body, as well as general healing and emotional well being. But what is Shungite, exactly? And what are the benefits of shungite? While not a crystal, it is one of the strongest mineral healers because the Shungite properties span the board from purity to protection, offering a variety of benefits to anyone who works with this powerful stone. Although the most popular use of the shungite stone is for electronics, the healing potential of this stone goes far beyond protection from technology and can be used as part of crystal body layouts, crystal elixirs, meditations, and more.

It works to cleanse and align all the particles in the body so that they are open and in alignment with the light. It carries strong purifying, cleansing and detoxifying properties. It can be used to clear your body of any dysfunctional patterns, which in turn can manifest as negativity, emotional difficulties or even certain diseases. Place a couple Shungite stones on an affected area and you will see an accelerated resolution of the problem. If you are looking for a more full body healing, instead of concentrating on a particular area, simply hold or meditate with the stones. Shungite crystals are also very beneficial for relieving stress and anxiety, soothing insomnia and boosting your overall energy level.
