Shungite is an ancient stone believed to be about two billion years old. Its origin is shrouded in mystery - some believe it may have arrived on Earth via a meteorite due to its unique composition. This mysterious black stone has been used since time immemorial for its purifying properties – Peter The Great even set up Russia's first spa using this magical mineral!
Its color comes from its high carbon content which also gives it unique protective qualities against electromagnetic radiation when placed near electronic devices such as computers or televisions.
Not only does Shungite make beautiful jewelry pieces that protect you wherever you go, but placing these stones around your home can help create a more harmonious environment by absorbing negativity and balancing energy fields.
Meditating with Shungite can assist in grounding one’s energies into the earth, promoting feelings of balance and calmness. In Crystal Grid work, Shungites are often used as they offer powerful grounding capabilities needed during spiritual work.
When caring for your Shungite products remember not to use any harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners as they might damage the surface shine. Simply cleanse them under running water then pat dry gently.
