Shungite is an opaque black stone with light or high lustre and it is getting more and more popular over the world. It is a semi-mineral rock with quite a significant portion of the carbon in its structure. The name of the stone refers to a place of its origin – a Shunga village on the shore of the Lake Onega in Karelia. It is belived that shungite has the ability to purify water.

Special conditions/ treatment: We do not recommend treating shungite with any chemical detergents as it may lose its ability to clean water. The stone leaves black stains on skin and clothes.
