About the stone

Shungite is a black, lustrous mineraloid composed of more than 98% carbon. Found primarily near the village of Shunga in Karelia, Russia — from which it takes its name. The stone has been the subject of scientific interest for its unusual molecular structure, including documented trace amounts of fullerenes.

In crystal tradition

In crystal tradition, shungite is long-valued for grounding and protection. The sphere form is among the oldest carved shapes — symbolic of wholeness and believed in crystal practice to radiate the stone's qualities equally in all directions. Sacred geometry engravings add a layer of intentional symbolism to the form.

Each piece is one of a kind. Natural variations in colour, shape, size, and pattern are part of what makes the stone what it is — the photograph shows a representative example, your piece will look slightly different.
