what is shungite?

history of shungite

Shungite is an ancient rock formation that’s believed to be about two billion years old. It is a very unique rock receiving its healing powers from one of its elements, fullerenes, which are a crystalline form of carbon and a major component of the gemstone. It is the only known source of fullerenes on earth—except for a few meteorites—which means it’s extra special.There are two types of shungite: Type one is known as ‘noble’ or ‘elite’ shungite, because it’s the purest form that contains 98 percent carbon. This one has a shiny, black, and silvery metallic lustre and accounts for only one percent of all available shungite. Type two, which is black shungite that’s black and semi-dull in color, is 50 to 70 percent carbon based, and can easily be shaped and polished So dependent upon what you intend to use it for denotes which type to choose.
