Color : Black(typicalshungite), Silver(elite shungite)
Age of shungite : 2 billion years or more (approximately)
Main ingredients : SiO2(silicate), C60(fullerene)
Reserves : Shun'ga area, Karelia, northern Russia
Feature : the only material containing natural fullerene (to date)
- Shungite is the only natural mineral containing fullerene (learned in1985).
Fullerene(C60) is a unique carbon molecular form.
In 1996, scientists (Robert Floyd, Harold Walter Kroto, and Richard E. Smalley) who discovered fullerene(C60) won the Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Scientists who studied shungite have several theories, but overall, their view is that shungite is an otherworldly mineral with various healing and restorative properties.
Shungite removes and absorbs potentially harmful substances.
Shungite is a stable and high vibration stone.
