Shungite Properties & Meaning

Shungite can only be found in one place in the world; Karelia, Russia. It was formed around 2 billion years ago, making it one of the oldest minerals on Earth. In the 18th century, Shungite was highly praised for its rehabilitating benefits by the Tsar, the then-ruler of Russia, Peter the Great.

Today, it is still a mystery how Shungite was formed, as it has similar properties to coal but also some key differences. As you may know, carbon is the foundation of life on Earth. Due to Shungite’s high carbon content, it resembles regular coal to the untrained eye. However, unlike coal, Shungite has a more complex molecular structure, a higher average Mohs hardness (3.5-4 compared to 2-2.5), it conducts electricity, and it can also have a metallic appearance.
