Shungite Earrings

Gemstone earrings made of genuine shungite and silver

Stone: Shungite | Setting: Silver | Length: approx. 3.5 cm

Shungite - the name derives from the Russian town of Shunga in Karelia, where the mineral has been known for centuries. The stone captivates with its deep black, slightly metallic shimmering surface, which feels pleasant on the skin when worn. These earrings combine the natural character of the stone with a simple silver setting - light, wearable, and unique in shape and grain as individual pieces.

Shungite is a Precambrian rock with a high carbon content and occurs exclusively in the Russian Republic of Karelia, mainly around Lake Onega near the town of Shunga. The characteristic black color is due to this exceptionally high carbon content.

Meaning in healing stone lore

In healing stone lore, shungite is considered a powerful protective and grounding stone. It is said to help strengthen the energy field, buffer stress, and promote inner balance. Worn as jewelry, it is believed to accompany and ground its wearer - a silent companion in everyday life. Traditionally, it is associated with the root chakra.
Note: The described effects of healing stone lore are not scientifically proven. Gemstones are not a substitute for medical or therapeutic treatments.

General information

As a natural product, each pair has individual inclusions, grain patterns, and slight color variations - this is not a defect but an expression of its authenticity. Shungite may stain slightly, especially when in contact with moisture. For care, a soft, dry cloth is sufficient. Separate storage from other jewelry is recommended.
