In lithotherapy, its virtues make it an anchor stone, protecting against electromagnetic waves, purifying water and eliminating toxins. Many legends and stories surround it.

Origins in Russia

Shungite is traditionally used in Russia as a stone with curative properties. In the 18th century, Emperor Peter the Great, convinced of its benefits for human health, created the first spa using water enriched with Shungite. The symbols of this stone link it to purification and protection, as a tool of resilience accompanying the evolution of the spirit.

Anchoring and transformation

Carbon molecules are at the origin of all life on earth, which makes Shungite an ideal lithotherapy stone for working on one's roots, one's anchoring, one's own history.
It encourages introspection and the crossing of shadows. Balancing energies, promoting emotional healing and boosting vitality are all part of a necessary path to salvation and However, like any path of transformation, it can involve complex and not always pleasant stages.
Shungite's strong ties to the Earth will support you with its powers of stability and deep connection to nature and its truths.

In lithotherapy, Shungite is renowned for its many virtues, including protection against electromagnetic radiation. With virtues very similar to those of black tourmaline, it is the perfect stone to protect against electromagnetic waves: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, DECT, babyphones, cell phones, etc. The round carbon molecules create mini-vortexes that counteract the inverse torsion fields generated by these devices.

A pyramid or block of Shungite placed in an office helps combat the electrosmog that is so prevalent in places where computers, telephones and printers on Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and satellite are in close proximity. This stone is theally of electrosensitive people.

The healing properties of Shungite water in question

Its physical healing properties are controversial:

• The stone is renowned for purifying water, eliminating toxins, and for its antibacterial and antiviral properties. For the most part, Shungite contains carbon, with notable adsorption capacities, making it suitable for adsorbing organic and chemical contaminants - such as bacteria and heavy metals like iron and copper.
• On the face of it, it's an interesting stone for treating water. But great care must be taken: Shungite can in turn release heavy metals such as cadmium, nickel or lead into the water, which can be hazardous to health. Prolonged rinsing before use is therefore necessary and indispensable to avoid heavy metal contamination .
• Scientific studies claim that Shungite is less effective than activated carbon in filtering, removing organic contaminants and softening water. The results are not significant in terms of the health effects of Shungite water.

Notes on the particular mineralogy of Shungite

Sometimes called schingite or chingite, the name of this mineraloid comes from the village of Shunga, in the Karelia region on the shores of Lake Onega in Russia, where it was discovered.

Composed mainly of carbon, Shungite was formed in the Precambrian period, around 2 billion years ago.
Containing aquatic sediments and micro-organisms, it was formed by the metamorphism of organic matter.

Its structure includes fullerenes, caged carbon molecules, which give it special properties that make it promising for applications in nanotechnology, medicine and the creation of high-performance materials: its spherical structure, consisting of pentagons and hexagons, similar to a soccer, its conductivity, lightness and chemical reactivity, as well as its thermal stability and resistance, could prove useful in the electronic and photovoltaic fields.
