ABOUT SHUNGITE
WHAT IS SHUNGITE?
Shungite is a rare, naturally occurring carbon-rich mineraloid found primarily in Karelia, Russia. Estimated to be around 2 billion years old, Shungite is known for its unusual carbon structure and unique combination of carbon and mineral compounds.
Unlike crystalline forms of carbon such as graphite or diamond, Shungite contains non-crystalline carbon with fullerene-like structures. It has been studied for its physical, chemical and electrical properties and is widely used today for water purification, EMF protection, grounding, jewelry and wellness products.

WHERE DOES SHUNGITE COME FROM?
Authentic Shungite comes primarily from the Republic of Karelia in northwestern Russia, particularly from deposits around Lake Onega.
The mineral takes its name from the village of Shunga, where deposits were historically identified. One of the major Shungite deposits is the Zazhoginsky deposit on the Zaonezhye Peninsula near Lake Onega.
Modern ŌM sources its Shungite directly from Karelia, Russia.

WHAT IS SHUNGITE MADE OF?
Shungite is primarily composed of carbon along with varying amounts of mineral matter. Its carbon content differs considerably depending on the type and deposit.
Elite, or Noble, Shungite contains up to approximately 98% carbon, while Regular Shungite contains substantially less. Shungite also contains naturally occurring mineral components that can include quartz, silicates, pyrite and other trace minerals.
The differences in carbon and mineral content are responsible for the variations in Shungite's appearance, weight, texture and physical properties.
HOW OLD IS SHUNGITE?
Shungite deposits in Karelia are approximately 2 billion years old, dating to the Paleoproterozoic era.
The exact origin of Shungite's unusually carbon-rich deposits has been the subject of scientific study and debate. What is well established is their extraordinary geological age and their association with ancient rock formations in the Lake Onega region of Karelia, Russia.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHUNGITE?
Shungite is commonly classified by its carbon content, appearance and structure. The main types are Elite (Noble) Shungite, Regular (Black) Shungite and Gray Shungite.
Elite Shungite is the rarest form, with a carbon content of up to approximately 98%. It has a distinctive silvery-black metallic appearance and represents less than 1% of known Shungite deposits.
Regular Shungite, the most widely used type, typically contains approximately 30–60% carbon. It is black or dark gray and is used to make Shungite pyramids, spheres, plates, jewelry and other products.
Gray Shungite has the lowest carbon content and a higher proportion of mineral components.
You may also encounter the term Petrovsky Shungite, traditionally used for Shungite with a carbon content between Elite and Regular grades.

WHAT IS ELITE SHUNGITE?
Elite Shungite, also known as Noble Shungite, is the rarest and most carbon-rich form of Shungite. It can contain up to approximately 98% carbon and represents less than 1% of known Shungite deposits.
It is recognizable by its silvery-black color, metallic luster and irregular natural formations. Unlike Regular Shungite, which can be cut and polished into geometric shapes, Elite Shungite is brittle and is generally sold in its natural form.
Because it is rare and difficult to extract in intact pieces, larger pieces of Elite Shungite are particularly uncommon.
All of this makes Elite Shungite more expensive than any other Shungite type.

All of this makes Elite Shungite more expensive than any other Shungite type.
WHAT IS REGULAR SHUNGITE?
Regular Shungite is the most abundant and widely used form of Shungite. It generally contains approximately 30–60% carbon, together with quartz, silicates and other naturally occurring mineral components.
Regular Shungite is typically black to dark gray and is considerably stronger and easier to shape than Elite Shungite. This makes it suitable for cutting, polishing and carving into pyramids, spheres, cubes, plates, jewelry and other Shungite products.
Its natural mineral inclusions can sometimes appear as white, gray, reddish or gold-colored veins and markings.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REGULAR AND ELITE SHUNGITE?
The main difference between Elite Shungite and Regular Shungite is their carbon content, rarity, appearance and physical structure.
Elite Shungite contains up to approximately 98% carbon, has a silvery metallic appearance and represents less than 1% of Shungite deposits. It is brittle and usually kept in its natural, irregular form.
Regular Shungite typically contains approximately 30–60% carbon. It is black or dark gray, more abundant and structurally stronger, allowing it to be cut and polished into pyramids, spheres, plates, jewelry and other objects.
Both are natural forms of Shungite from Karelia, but their different composition and structure make them suitable for different uses.

WHY DOES SHUNGITE HAVE WHITE, GRAY OR GOLD VEINS AND MARKINGS?
Natural Shungite can contain visible veins, inclusions and markings caused by other minerals present in the stone.
White or gray markings are often associated with quartz and other mineral inclusions, while gold or brassy-colored veins may come from naturally occurring pyrite. Reddish or brown areas can result from iron-containing minerals and oxidation.
These variations are a natural part of Shungite and do not mean that the stone is damaged or inferior. Because Shungite is a natural material, every piece can vary in color, texture and pattern.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLISHED AND UNPOLISHED SHUNGITE?
Polished and unpolished Shungite are made from the same natural material. The difference is primarily the surface finish.
Polished Shungite has been shaped and finished to create a smoother, often slightly reflective surface. It is commonly used for spheres, pyramids, jewelry and other decorative or functional pieces.
Unpolished Shungite retains more of its natural matte texture and may leave a fine black carbon residue when handled, particularly when new.
Polishing changes the appearance and feel of Shungite but does not turn it into a different type or grade of Shungite.

HOW CAN YOU TELL IF SHUNGITE IS REAL?
Authentic Shungite is naturally carbon-rich and electrically conductive, so electrical conductivity is one useful way to help identify genuine Shungite.
The simplest way is to check the conductivity of the sample using a DVOM (Digital Volt/Ohm Meter). You can see examples of this in our videos about authentication found on many of our product pages. However, appearance or a single home test alone cannot reliably determine a stone's exact type, carbon content or origin.
Natural Shungite is generally black or dark gray, while Elite Shungite has a distinctive silvery metallic appearance. Regular Shungite may also contain natural quartz, pyrite and other mineral inclusions.
The most reliable approach is to purchase Shungite from a trusted source that can identify where the material comes from. Modern ŌM sources its Shungite directly from Karelia, Russia, and checks the material for authenticity upon arrival.

DOES SHUNGITE NEED TO BE CLEANSED OR CHARGED?
Shungite does not require cleansing or charging to maintain its physical properties.
Some people choose to cleanse Shungite as part of a personal or spiritual practice. Common methods include rinsing it with water, placing it in sunlight or moonlight, or using smoke from Palo Santo or other traditional cleansing materials.
For everyday care, Shungite can simply be wiped with a soft cloth. Unpolished Shungite may naturally release a small amount of black carbon residue, especially when new.
Shungite used specifically for preparing water requires different cleaning and maintenance. See the Shungite Water section below for care instructions.

SHUNGITE AND EMF
WHAT IS EMF?
EMF stands for electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic fields are produced by both natural and human-made sources and exist across a broad spectrum of frequencies.
Everyday sources of electromagnetic fields include electrical wiring, computers, mobile phones, Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices and other electronics.
Different types and frequencies of electromagnetic fields interact with materials and the human body in different ways, so the term “EMF” covers a broad range of electromagnetic phenomena.

DOES SHUNGITE PROTECT FROM EMF?
Shungite is electrically conductive and has unusual carbon-rich properties that have led researchers to study its interaction with electromagnetic radiation, including its shielding and absorption properties.
RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, Karelian Scientific Centre Institute of Geology states that “Shungite material actively interacts with electromagnetic fields of different natures (anthropogenic, high frequency, solar, geo-geogenic, biofields) and counteracts their negative influence.”
Russian scientific research shows that In addition to protecting from man-made radiation, Shungite neutralizes geopathic stress resulted from EMF emitted from natural sources.

WHAT TYPE OF SHUNGITE IS BEST FOR EMF PROTECTION?
Both Regular Shungite and Elite Shungite are carbon-rich and electrically conductive, but their physical characteristics make them useful in different forms.
Regular Shungite is a stronger material and can be cut and polished into larger spheres, pyramids, cubes and plates, making it practical for homes and offices.
Elite Shungite has a much higher carbon content but is rare and brittle, so it is generally used as smaller natural stones rather than large geometric objects.
The best choice therefore depends not simply on carbon content, but on how and where you intend to use the Shungite.
WHAT SHUNGITE SHAPE IS BEST FOR EMF PROTECTION?
There is no single Shungite shape that is best for every situation. Spheres, pyramids, cubes and plates each offer different practical ways to use Shungite around electronics and living spaces.
Spheres and pyramids are popular for desks, bedrooms and living areas. Cubes provide a substantial amount of Shungite in a compact form, while flat Shungite plates work particularly well beneath or near individual electronic devices.
The best shape depends on the size of the space, placement and the devices around which you plan to use it.

SHUNGITE WATER
WHAT IS SHUNGITE WATER?
Shungite water is water that has been left in contact with specially prepared Shungite stones for a period of time.
Shungite has a long history of use in water treatment, and its carbon-rich structure has attracted scientific interest for its adsorption and filtration properties. Today, Shungite stones are commonly used at home to prepare Shungite-infused water.
Only Shungite intended and prepared specifically for water use should be used for this purpose.
WHAT TYPE OF SHUNGITE IS USED IN MODERN ŌM WATER KITS?
Modern ŌM Living Water Kits use high quality Elite Shungite from Karelia, Russia.
Our LIVING WATER Kits contain only ELITE (NOBLE) Shungite, the most potent and efficient form of this mineral.
Because ELITE has a much higher percentage of organic carbon (up to 98%) with significantly more Fullerenes than lower grades. It is more effective in neutralizing harmful contaminants and eliminating bad odor. It purifies and infuses water with powerful antioxidants, making it more bio-available to your body.

WHAT ARE FULLERENES IN SHUNGITE?
Fullerenes are spherical carbon structures composed of carbon atoms arranged into hollow, cage-like molecules. Named after Buckminster Fuller because of the resemblance with his geodesic dome in shape they became an important area of scientific research after their discovery in the 1980s.
Shungite attracted particular scientific interest after researchers found fullerene-like carbon structures in it.
Shungite attracted particular scientific interest after researchers found fullerene-like carbon structures in it.
The size of the Fullerene molecule included in Shungite is 1nm. This is three times smaller than DNA and hundred times smaller than a virus. Fullerene molecules can pass a cell wall without damaging the membrane.
Based on the current research, these molecules are largely responsible for the healing properties of Shungite and its effectiveness for water purification and reducing body inflammation.

HOW DOES SHUNGITE PURIFY WATER?
Shungite has been studied for adsorption, filtration and water-treatment applications, and carbon-rich Shungite material interacts with various substances present in water.
Shungite is an effective sorbent for the removal of almost all harmful organic and inorganic compounds including pesticides, heavy metals, bacteria, and other microorganisms, nitrates, volatile organics, pharmaceuticals, chlorine, fluoride from contaminated water.
It also enriches the water with fullerenes, which attract and neutralize
waterborne contaminants. Shungite water contains natural antioxidants
that neutralize free radicals, making it beneficial to our cells and
tissues.
