Shungite is a mysterious, jet-black stone from Karelia in Russia. For centuries, people have praised it for its powerful purifying and protective properties. What makes shungite so special is its unique molecular structure. The stone contains fullerenes: rare carbon structures that scientists are studying because of their special properties.
The name ‘Shungite’ comes from the Russian village of Shunga. This village is situated in the Karelia region, in north-western Russia, close to the border with Finland. It was in this region that the stone was first discovered and mining began. To this day, this remains the only known natural deposit of shungite with this unique composition.
Karelia is renowned for its ancient geological formations. Shungite itself is more than two billion years old. It was formed from organic material which, under high pressure and temperature, transformed into this rare, carbon-rich stone.
The shungite health pendant is best known for its protective properties against electromagnetic radiation (EMF). This includes radiation from computers, Wi-Fi routers, mobile phones and televisions.
It is therefore a good idea to place small pieces of shungite near electronic devices. They can also provide valuable support in places where you spend a lot of time, such as your workplace or bedroom. In this way, you help to energetically purify your surroundings of electromagnetic pollution, creating a calmer, more harmonious energy field.
A shungite health pendant offers more than just physical protection. It also has a deeply purifying effect on an energetic and spiritual level. The stone helps the body and mind to let go of negative energies, thoughts and emotions and to regain their balance.
This stone is particularly suitable for people who absorb a lot of energy from their surroundings and become easily overwhelmed. Shungite also offers support when you need energetic protection. It has a grounding and stabilising effect and helps you to keep both feet firmly on the ground, even when the world around you feels unsettled.
It is best not to clean shungite with water. The stone absorbs a great deal of radiation and negative energy, so it is important to cleanse it regularly. Read here more information on cleaning and charging.

First and foremost, it’s a lovely and interesting little stone to look at. I wear it on a necklace next to my skin. As I’m definitely sensitive to radiation and have, amongst other things, been suffering from a severe skin condition for quite some time, I suspect there’s a link between a number of my symptoms. The problem is that it’s difficult to prove this. When I read online about the healing and protective properties of shungite, I wanted to at least give it a go. I spoke to the stone (whilst holding it in my hands) with the fervent wish that it would help me get rid of those troublesome skin problems. I can hardly believe it myself, or even bring myself to talk about it to anyone, but the skin problems – which have now lasted for over a year and for which I’ve tried just about everything, including visits to a dermatologist, various creams, oils and the like – do indeed seem to be disappearing. So here is my personal experience. If this process were to change, I’d be sure to write another review to help others as well. Petronella.
A beautiful pendant of excellent quality. I couldn’t do without this extra protection now!
