History: The earliest historical reference to Shungite dates back to 1706, during the reign of Peter the Great (1682-1721), who ordered aspidniy stone (an older name for Shungite) from its deposit to his Summer Palace. The Tsar wanted the stone placed inside his water fountains because of its reputation for healing and purification. In 1719, Peter the Great founded the first healing mineral spa in Russia, Marsial Waters, in Petrozavodsk, Karelina. This water flowed over Shungite deposits, giving the water its time honoured healing qualities. Another account, tells of Peter the Great ordering his soldiers to carry a piece of Shungite and use it to purify their drinking water during military campaigns.It is said that the Russian army was kept mostly healthy due to this intervention. Today, modern testing has confirmed that Petrovsky Shungite does actually have anti-bacterial properties when used in an elixir, adding credibility to the story.
