The name Shungite was first used in 1879 to describe the high-carbon (98%+) mineraloids found in Russia near Shunga (in the Lake Onega area of Karelia). This high-Carbon variety of Shungite is the stone linked to claims of water purification and anti-bacterial properties. However, there are many other Shungite-containing minerals with much lower proportions of carbon. These vary greatly with the Carbon content ranging from less than 10% up to about 80%. The lower the percentage of Carbon, the lower the amount of fullerenes. Thus, the less likely the Shungite will live up to its reputation for healing and purification. A more pure form of Shungite called Noble Shungite, or Elite Shungite, is extremely rare and has a silver-ish tint on its surface. 

Shungite works to cleanse and align all the particles in the body so that they are open and in alignment with the light. It carries strong purifying, cleansing and detoxifying properties. It can be used to clear your body of any dysfunctional patterns, which in turn can manifest as negativity, emotional difficulties or even certain diseases. Shungite has vast amounts of healing powers that can help anyone in need. Place a couple Shungite stones on an affected area and you will see an accelerated resolution of the problem. If you are looking for a more full body healing, instead of concentrating on a particular area, simply hold or meditate with the stones. The Shungite Crystals are also very beneficial for relieving stress and anxiety, soothing insomnia and boosting your overall energy level.

Shungite is an ancient stone that contains all the elements of the periodic table in its composition. It's believed to be almost two billion years old. Shungite formed long before there was life on earth, deep within the earths crust. It carries within it valuable downloads about the earth's evolutionary process. Shungite is composed of mostly carbon, which is the universal building block for life as we know it. In 1996 it was discovered that Shungite is the only known natural mineral to contain fullerenes, a crystalline form of carbon and powerhouse antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals. Fullerenes are anti-everything harmful to us, including viruses, bacteria, fungus, pathogens, fluoride, chlorine and so much more, and they are only found in Shungite. The main deposit of Shungite on earth comes from Zazhoginskoye near Lake Omega in the Shunga region of Karelia, North West of Russia

Many people, especially in Russia where the use of Shungite originated, place Shungite stones or pieces in their drinking water because of its documented health benefits. They are essentially making their own gem essence with Shungite.
