Why Shungite?

Ancient Mineral
Shungite is estimated to be over 2 billion years old, forming from ancient organic deposits subjected to intense geological processes.

High Carbon Content
Often containing up to 98% carbon, the stone’s unique molecular structures (fullerenes) are believed to help neutralize certain environmental stressors.

EMF Concerns
In our tech-driven world, many people turn to Shungite to help reduce electromagnetic radiation from devices like smartphones, laptops, and Wi-Fi routers.

Water Filtration
Historically, Shungite has been used to filter and purify water, a practice said to date back to the reign of Tsar Peter the Great, who reportedly set up Shungite “healing spas” for Russian soldiers.

The Karelian Lake Connection

Lake Onega
Much of the world’s most sought-after Shungite comes from the area around Lake Onega in the Karelia region of northwest Russia. This historic lake is one of Europe’s largest and is surrounded by centuries-old pine forests.

Unique Geological Formation
The lake basin’s ancient bedrock, combined with specific pressure and temperature conditions, contributed to Shungite’s high carbon purity—making it a prized mineral unlike any other in the world.

Time-Tested History and Folklore

Ancient Uses
Local communities have long revered Shungite for its purported cleansing and protective properties, using it in spiritual ceremonies and as a talisman.

Peter the Great’s Influence
Legend has it that Tsar Peter the Great noticed the stone’s exceptional ability to purify water, leading to the establishment of Russia’s first Shungite “spa.” Soldiers were encouraged to drink Shungite-infused water to promote health and stamina.

Modern Use Cases
