Shungite has been used for centuries however only recently in the year 1996 Professor
Robert F. Curl Jr, Sir Harold W. Kroto and Richard E. Smalley recieved
Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery of fullerenes.
No physicist or chemist had expected that carbon would be found in such a symmetrical form other than those already known.
Due to their unique structure, fullerene molecules possess amazing life-boosting qualities.
For example, in interaction with water fullerenes behave as the most powerful and long-acting antioxidant.
A short time after the discovery of fullerenes came a discovery that shungite is the only natural mineral,
known currently, which contains fullerenes in it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

*regular shungite (type III) has deep dark color and 30-50% of organic carbon in its composition<\/p>

*petovsky shungite (type II) contains 50-70% of organic carbon and slightly lighter color than regular<\/p>

*elite shungite (type I) noble shungite is the purest and rarest form of crystal rock, containing over 90% of carbon. Represented with very shiny surface but high fragility royal shungite has the highest energetic potential of all types. For only 1% of all Shungite that is found, making it the most expensive.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Shungite<\/strong> refers to a dark, lustrous mineraloid made up of 98 percent carbon, which gets its name from Shunga village in Karelia, Russia<\/a>. The mineraloid has long been used as a folk medical treatment since at least the early 18th century, and more recently as a pseudoscientific alternative medicine technique associated with crystal healing. Some followers of this pseudomedicine believe that shungite has certain properties that can block or absorb EMF radiation (also associated with 5G conspiracy<\/a> theories). Shungite became the subject of several memes<\/a> and a form of copypasta<\/a> in May 2020, after Twitch<\/a> streamer Dr DisRespect<\/a> discussed the mineraloid during a livestream.<\/p>

Origin<\/h2>

Shungite was coined as a term to describe a mineraloid with more than 98 percent carbon back in 1879, but it was used as early as the 18th century in folk medical treatments. In the early 1700s, Peter the Great built the first shungite spa in Karelia, Russia (near a massive deposit) due to the mineraloid\u2019s water purifying properties, and also used it to purify drinking water for his army (due to its anti-bacterial properties). In the 2010s, coinciding with the rise of crystal healing, shungite began frequently appearing as a material used by this pseudoscientific alternative medicine community[1]<\/a><\/sup> for its perceived ability to protect against electromagnetic fields, which some believe it can block and absorb. On December 27th, 2013, the YouTube<\/a>[2]<\/a><\/sup> channel Crystal Healing can be seen discussing this topic in a video (seen below), which has since been viewed nearly 18,000 times and liked 370 times.<\/p>
