Beautifully shiny precious shungite.
Size of the precious shungite approx. 9.5 x 5 x 3.5 cm, weight approx. 155 g.
Precious shungite is characterized by its metallic luster, conchoidal fracture and extremely high carbon content. Only about 1% of the total schungite localities consists of precious schungite. This occurs in bands no wider than 40 cm and has to be laboriously mined by hand underground. Occasionally, reddish-brownish inclusions can be seen in the precious schungite; this is jarosite, an iron sulphate formed by the oxidation of Pyrite.
According to gemstone healing, shungite is said to help overcome difficult times. It stimulates new experiences and supports the balancing of inner contradictions and personality traits. Investments in the future are easier to plan and implement; decisions that lead to later successes are supported.
Due to its origin, shungite is also known as the "black Diamond of Karelia" (Russia).
For the production of gemstone water with shungite, we recommend the test tube method or infusion with crystals.
