What Is a Shungite Stone?

Technically, shungite stones are not crystals, but rather mineraloids or mineralized carbon. The stones are made up of clusters of carbon atoms called fullerenes.

 Natural shungite has lots of different textures and shapes. It usually has a black or dark-gray color and sometimes a metallic sheen. Perhaps the uniqueness of the stones is what makes them attractive to some health-conscious people.

There are five types of shungite rocks, categorized by their carbon content:

Shungite-1: (noble elite shungite): 90%-98% carbon; this has the metallic sheen

Shungite-2: (raw shungite): 35%-80% carbon

Shungite-3: 20%-35% carbon

Shungite-4: 10%-20% carbon

Shungite-5: Less than 10% carbon

Elite shungite, the rarest and most expensive kind, is used for healing purposes. Raw shungite is used in jewelry.

Most Shungite stones sold online and available from China are Shungite Type 4 & 5.
