Properties :  Shungite is a "coal" type mineral that contains between 50 and 70% organic carbon. So it's not pure carbon.

Unlike ground charcoal which is the result of the transformation of organic plant matter, Shungite originates from very old planktonic deposits (more than 2 billion years). The only deposits are in the northwest of Russia, near Lake Onega Shunga (hence its name) .  

What makes this stone unique is that Black Shungite is mostly made up of naturally occurring fullerenes. A new form of the existence of carbon, discovered by three American scientists in the laboratory in 1985.

Shungite is a stone that develops around it a powerful shield against harmful electromagnetic waves  : wifi, mobile phones, tablets,  computers, microwaves, tv… Moreover, it is not by  chance, if the Russian military has been using it for years  to protect their bunkers against outside electromagnetic attacks. In France also  we use shingite,  large blocks have been placed in the wind turbines, in order to eliminate the electromagnetic interference they produce.  

Of course, as a black stone, it also protects and absorbs all the negative energies around us.
