The Ultimate Guide to Shungite: Understanding its Benefits and Properties

Regarded as the ‘wonder stone’, Shungite is a fascinating mineral that has recently gained popularity due to its unique metaphysical properties and potential health benefits.  Only found in Russia, this ancient mineral is said to have formed over 2 billion years ago!  It is still a mystery as to how this formed as there were no vast forests at that time to eventually form the carbon deposits.

Shungite is a type of carbon-rich rock, and is considered to be one of the most conductive minerals on Earth.  This conductivity as well as its unique molecular structure, has led many to believe that Shungite has powerful electromagnetic properties that can help to neutralise harmful environmental pollutants, including electromagnetic radiation from electronic devices.

In addition to its potential health benefits, Shungite is also believed to have powerful metaphysical properties. Some people believe that Shungite can help to purify energy, balance emotions, and promote healing and spiritual growth.  Many people carry Shungite stones or wear Shungite jewellery as a form of protection against negative energies and psychic attacks.  Physically, it has been known to help ease headaches, aches and pains, boost the immune system and help with stress relief.

There are two types of Shungite available – standard Shungite and Elite Shungite which is known to be the rarer and more pure form of Shungite as it contains a higher concentration of the mineral, Fullerene.  Shungite is typically black and can be found in different grades, with the lower grades being more porous, less pure and more like charcoal, leaving a black residue on ones hands when handled.  Elite Shungite on the other hand, is jet black and has a polished, glossy appearance.  It is also much denser and harder than regular Shungite, and is said to contain up to 98% carbon.

In terms of its metaphysical healing properties, Elite Shungite is considered by many, to have a stronger energy as it has a higher concentration of Fullerene.  Fullerene is a type of molecule that has unique antioxidant properties and it is said to help neutralise harmful free radicals in the body.  This is why a lot of people put a piece of Elite Shungite in their drink bottles and water coolers.

To summarise, there is a reason why the mainstream public is catching on to this wonder stone.  Its potential health benefits are hard to ignore and with the increasing exposure to wifi and electronic devices, Shungite can help neutralise the electromagnetic radiation thus reducing the potential for harm to our bodies.  Its metaphysical properties make it a powerful tool for promoting positive energy, good health and inner peace.
