Shungite Raw Shungite is the result of a meteor that fell to Earth around 2 billion years ago and is mostly found in the Karelian territory of North East Russia, the biggest concentrations being along the edges of Lake Onega. This extraordinary crystal has healing properties second to none. It’s unique structure contains molecules of carbon called fullerenes. It is the only known crystal to contain these “Buckyballs” that make up the high carbon content of Shungite. It is black or metallic black in colour. There are two variations of Shungite, one is called Black Shungite, the other is known as Elite Shungite. These “Buckyballs” molecules hold transmutative properties and are incredible antioxidants. They shield against harmful EMF’s, free radicals, radiation, and while detoxifying the physical body, it increases the physical and mental balance of the body. The unique structure of Shungite, gives it extraordinary healing properties when placed in water. Since water is essentially a liquid crystal and holds information in the form of vibrational frequencies, the crystalline makeup of shungite can add some powerful healing properties to it. Black Shungite contains 30-50% carbon content and is more accessible than Elite Shungite. Any items carved into shapes are made of black shungite because it is the stronger of two stones. Elite shungite contains a 90-98% carbon content. It is manually mined by hand because of its delicate structure, making this much rarer and exclusive. The ultra high carbon count gives this type of Shungite very powerful healing and antioxidant properties. Because of it’s delicate structure, it is mainly available in rough or raw pieces. However, Namaste Studio also has this on occasion in jewelry. Shungite is a grounding crystal and it is very effective at clearing negative or low vibrating energies from it’s surroundings. It is an excellent crystal for meditation. Pairing Shungite with water activates some almost magical properties. Shungite has the ability to clean water from almost all of organic compounds (including pesticides), metals, bacteria and harmful microorganisms. First rinse Shungite chunks off until water runs clear. Place Shungite crystals on the bottom of a water container (the size of the container and of the crystals are important). Use 150-200 grams of Black Shungite or 50-70 grams of Elite Shungite per litre of water. After 24 hours the water will be biologically active. It ‘s ready for external and internal use. Keep your water fresh. You can drink up to 4 glasses per day, Shungite water has many benefits. Clean your Shungite crystals in the sunlight every month and replace them every 6 months.
