Shungite necklace 6 mm - 925 silver

Shungite is presented in this gemstone necklace as a 6 mm beaded chain in a deep, matte black with a characteristic natural luster. The classic spherical shape underscores the grounding, powerful aura of the stone. Shungite is a Precambrian, carbon-rich rock (up to 98% carbon) from Karelia, Russia – one of the oldest mineral deposits in the world, over 2 billion years old. Its special feature is the fullerenes (C₆₀) it contains – a unique, spherical carbon structure that distinguishes shungite from all other minerals. The Mohs hardness is 3.5–4; shungite is not a crystal in the mineralogical sense, but an amorphous rock. The only significant deposit worldwide is located in Karelia (near Lake Onega). Origin: exclusively Karelia, Russia.

Significance in Crystal Healing

In crystal healing, shungite is considered a powerful protective and grounding stone. It is said to protect against negative energies and electrosmog, provide grounding, harmonize the energy field, and center one during stress and inner restlessness. It is associated with the root chakra. These attributions are based on tradition and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
