Shungite

❗️ I intuitively select each piece when you purchase one or more

Shungite is a distinctive carbon-rich rock known for its deep black color, matte to slightly glossy surface, and naturally occurring patterns that range from smooth and uniform to subtly textured. Its appearance depends on the concentration of carbon and the geological environment in which it formed, giving each piece its own character.

Found primarily in the Karelia region of Russia, Shungite formed over billions of years as ancient organic material was transformed by intense heat and pressure. This long geological process created a unique structure made up of carbon, silicates, and trace minerals. The result is a material that can appear dense and fine-grained or slightly veined with natural fractures.

Collectors appreciate Shungite for its opaque black tone, geological rarity, and strong visual presence. Whether polished or left in its raw form, it adds depth and contrast to any display. Its clean lines and natural simplicity make it a bold and timeless addition to a mineral collection.
