Silver Shungite
The silver shungite appear with a semimetallic, silvery shine. It contains 98% organic carbon. This is the most scarce form since it accounts for only 1% of all shungite that is found. It occurs in very narrow veins having a maximum width of 40 cm (16 inches). It can be easily identified because of its conchoidal fractures. Ocre-colored inclusions are jarosite, a basic sulfate of iron formed from the oxidation of pyrite. Sometimes, in marketing it, this type of shungite is called crystalized because of its naturally faceted appearance but this term is incorrect since shungite is an amorphous mineral and never crystalizes into any shape.
Black Shungite
Type II occurs as a black mineral. This is the kind of shungite most often used to make objects because, unlike type I, it can be easily shaped and polished (giving it a brilliant shine. It contains 50 – 70% organic carbon.
There are stones containing a lower percentage of organic carbon. These are termed shungite rock instead of shungite.
Healing Properties of Shungite Stone
What is the unique property that distinguishes shungite from other protection stones?I have carried out detailed studies using bioenergetic tests and have personally tested more than 200 stones and crystals that have an influenceon the chakras. Among those tested, I made comparative studies of about 20 stones, including shungite, that were able to resonate withthe first chakra.In comparing tests on shungite with tests carried out on other stones of this group, we noticed right away that for stones of the sameweight, shungite is the stone that achieves the largest expansion of the vital field, the greatest concentration, and, in a striking way, a significantexpansion of the first chakra. It is quite possible that the presence of fullerenes would explain all of shungite qualities:
1. Helping the energetic body correct the influence of left-torsion fields
2. Neutralizing the impact of electromagnetic radiation
3. Opening access to life energy (first chakra)
4. Not taking on negative charges
