FAQs

Why does shungite feel light for its size?

Shungite is mostly carbon, so it is lighter than many stones of the same size. This is normal and part of what makes it unique.

Which size should I choose?

The 30mm sphere fits a pocket or small altar. The 35-40mm size suits a desk, and the 50-60mm sphere makes a bolder display piece.

Will shungite stain my hands?

Polished shungite leaves little residue, but it can mark light fabric or paper. A quick wipe keeps it clean.

What Is Shungite?

Shungite is a black, carbon-rich mineraloid found mainly in the Karelia region of Russia. It is unusual because it contains natural fullerenes, a rare form of carbon. Valued for its deep black color and soft sheen, shungite is often polished into spheres, pyramids and plates. Browse more pieces in our shungite collection.
