Shungite specimens (Rough)

Rough Shungite mineraloid specimens

Rough pieces of the mineraloid Shungite, an interesting material with an organic origin. Shungite has been made popular recently by new age healers, but has been used since antiquity for various purposes - as a pigment, an antibacterial, and an insulator.

Shungite is a mineraloid, not a mineral - this means it is mineral-like but does not possess any crystal structure.

Our current stock is all offcuts, with at least one flat cut side. They come from Karelia, Russia.
