The surface ranges from softly lustrous to nearly matte, with the dense, light-absorbing black that sets Shungite apart from glassier black stones. Compact and easy to pocket or hold, it has a noticeably lightweight feel for its size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShungite is traditionally associated with protection and grounding, and is often kept near electronics or carried as a steadying presence through a busy day. People commonly place it in a workspace, hold it when seeking focus, or keep a piece in a pocket as a personal anchor. Its reputation as a protective stone, combined with its unusual carbon composition, makes the Shungite a popular choice for those drawn to its science as much as its lore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo two Shungite pieces are identical, with each tumble varying in shape, sheen, and surface marking as a natural carbon material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePrimary Focus: Protection \u0026amp; Grounding\u003cbr\u003eSecondary Focus: Clarity \u0026amp; Focus\u003cbr\u003eChakra Association: Root\u003cbr\u003eZodiac Sign: Capricorn, Scorpio\u003cbr\u003eChinese Zodiac: Rat, Ox\u003cbr\u003eRuling Planet: Saturn\u003cbr\u003eElements: Earth\u003cbr\u003eMohs Hardness: 3.5-4\u003cbr\u003eStone Family: Mineraloid\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Natural Shungite\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Russia\u003cbr\u003eForm: Tumbled\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Polished\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size: 20-30 mm (0.8-1.2 inches)\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Weight: Single Stone, 100 g or 454 g, by selected quantity\u003cbr\u003eListing: Single unit, 100g or 1lb (454 g bulk quantity)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeological Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShungite is a rare carbon mineraloid composed of amorphous carbon, with a Mohs hardness of 3.5 to 4. Its deep black colour comes from its high carbon content, making it one of the few naturally occurring truly black carbon materials. Estimated at roughly two billion years old, it is among the oldest carbon deposits on Earth and notably contains fullerenes, spherical C60 carbon molecules first identified in 1985 and of ongoing scientific interest. Elite or Noble Shungite (Type I) carries the highest carbon content at around 90 to 98 percent, while the more commonly sold Type III is used for most tumbled material. Known to the Karelian people for centuries, it was reportedly used by Tsar Peter the Great at one of Russia's first mineral spas. Shungite is found in only one place on Earth, Karelia in Russia, near the village of Shun'ga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity. Natural variations in colour, structure, inclusions, and surface features are inherent to geological materials and contribute to the individuality of each piece. Any known treatments, enhancements, stabilization, or man-made characteristics are clearly disclosed within the product information where applicable. Every piece is inspected and photographed to reflect its true character; however, lighting conditions, screen settings, and natural variation may cause slight differences in appearance.

As a carbon mineral, a polished piece may still leave a faint dark residue, particularly when new, so wipe hands or surfaces if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AuturaSol","offers":[{"title":"Single Stone (approx 14 g)","offer_id":47354803454182,"sku":"31401004-1PC-AS-A3-J24","price":2.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 g (approx 6-7 stones)","offer_id":47354803486950,"sku":"31401004-100G-AS-A3-J24","price":15.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb (454 g bulk quantity)","offer_id":47354803519718,"sku":"31401004-1LB-AS-A3-J24","price":47.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/7200\/5350\/files\/ChatGPTImageAug13_2026_06_51_25PM.png?v=1786618294"}],"url":"https:\/\/auturasol.com\/collections\/stone-type-shungite.oembed","provider":"AuturaSol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
