Shungite Flat Ovals

Shungite is an ancient stone found almost exclusively in northwest Russia. It has been found in deposits dated to be between 1.9 to 2 Billion years old from the Paleoproterozoic era, a time in earths history when early life was just beginning. This unique stone had formed from organic sediments that were deposited in lagoon like shallow water environments. Shungite is thought to protect against EMF radiation and clears out both emotional and mental pollutants. It is believed by many to transform water, giving it strong healing properties that can boost the immune system, balance one’s equilibrium, and transmute stress.

Shungite has been used for healing purposes throughout Russia since the 1700s.

All gemstones are unique and special. Variation in color and inclusions are natural and to be expected. We have selected all of our stones for their high vibration and quality. Bathe in full moonlight regularly to energize crystals. Cleanse regularly by placing on a piece of selenite or by moving through the smoke of sage. These stones can be gently washed with soap and water if necessary.
