SHUNGITE PROPERTIES

✧ PROTECTION ✧ GROUNDING ✧ EMF SHIELDING ✧
✧ CLEANSING ✧ STRENGTH ✧ STABILITY ✧
✧ ANCIENT EARTH ✧ INNER TRUTH ✧

Shungite is an ancient, carbon-rich material found most famously in Karelia, Russia, particularly around Lake Onega. The Shungite-bearing formations of this region date to approximately two billion years ago, making this an extraordinary material from Earth's deep geological past.

To me, Shungite represents grounding, protection and returning to the Earth.

EMF SHIELDING

One of Shungite's most famous modern associations is protection from electromagnetic fields (EMFs).

There is some genuine science behind Shungite's electromagnetic properties. Its carbon-rich structure can interact with electromagnetic radiation, and researchers have investigated specially prepared Shungite materials for microwave reflection and absorption.

The effectiveness varies considerably according to the composition, carbon content, conductivity, thickness and physical form of the material.

Still, its unusual electrical and electromagnetic properties are fascinating, and this remains one of the primary reasons people choose to keep Shungite near computers, routers and other electronic devices.

GROUNDING & PROTECTION

Shungite feels profoundly earthy to me.

Its black colour, carbon-rich composition and incredible geological age evoke stability, weight and connection to the physical world.

I associate it with coming back down to Earth when life becomes overstimulating; putting down the phone, stepping outside, becoming quiet, moving the body and reconnecting with what is physically around us.

Shungite represents creating a strong foundation from which we can explore everything else.

CLEANSING

Shungite also has an interesting relationship with purification.

Carbon-rich materials are widely useful as adsorbents, and Shungite itself has been investigated for applications in water treatment and the removal of certain contaminants. 

THE VIRTUE OF SHUNGITE

Shungite represents protection, grounding and stability.

Be here. Be present. Be grounded.

A symbol of grounding, protection, cleansing, ancient Earth and stability.
