Shungite

Shungite in lithotherapy

Shungite owes its name to a small Russian village in the Karelia region, named Shunga. It is also at this place that the one and only deposit of this stone is located, which explains its extreme rarity. Composed mainly of carbon, it is often said to look like coal.

The physical, chemical and energetic characteristics of this stone make it act very quickly and very sensitively on our body and mind.

Virtues and benefits of Shungite

As an anchor stone, it allows us to refocus our energies with the Earth, and therefore to better fight against all external negative influences.

This rock was once used for its healing properties: in the seventeenth century, Emperor Peter the Great used it to strengthen his metabolism and even promote his convalescence when he was sick.

Nowadays, Shungite is a stone widely used in alternative medicine, especially to protect people sensitive to electromagnetic waves such as those emitted by our everyday devices (computer, smartphone, microwave oven ...). As proof, it is used in several sectors of industry as magnetic shielding.

It is also an excellent stone to harmonize your body and mind, thus bringing a feeling of calm and serenity.

How to purify and recharge Shungite?

To continue to benefit from the benefits and virtues of a stone, it is important to purify and recharge it.

Shungite is compatible with all purification and recharging techniques. It is the water purification technique that is the most recommended. Immerse it for a few hours in water (ideally demineralized or slightly salted), then wipe it with a clean cloth.

To recharge it with energy, expose it to sunlight for 2 to 3 hours. Or, place it on a pile of rock crystal or amethyst.

Shungite and astrology

Unlike other stones, Shungite is compatible with all astrological signs, without particular distinction.

Shungite and chakras

The action of shungite is mainly at the root chakra, but it also exerts an influence on the crown chakra.
