Shungite in HistoryShungite is an ancient natural rock formation (2 billion years old) that has an unusual composition and structure. It has unique properties and is only found in the Zazhoginsky deposit in Karelia, Russia. People in the region have always used Shungite in their water and seen its benefits for centuries without fully understanding the reason why.Science of ShungiteShungite has been proven in laboratory tests to be 30 times more effective than carbon in removing harmful substances from water. This includes substances such as heavy metals and other contaminants often found in drinking water.Another exciting discovery about Shungite in recent years was that it contains pure carbon atoms called fullerenes , these are soccer ball like molecules that give this stone its absorbing, neutralizing, antioxidant and purifying properties. These unique molecules are also what scientists believe give Shungite the ability to protect from EMF radiation.Elite Noble Type IContains between 95 to 100 carbon. This is the purest type of Shungite. Elite Shungite is very fragile which is why it can t be shaped.Regular Shungite Type IIContains 35 to 80 carbon. All shaped objects like pyramids or jewelry are made of Regular Shungite.There are other types of Shungite with less carbon content, therefore Type I and II are the ones used for home and personal protection.
