In Short

These are regular-grade (Type III) Shungite polished blocks from the Republic of Karelia, Russia. Shungite is a carbon-rich rock found almost nowhere else on Earth, prized for its matte black surface. Each block runs about 8 x 4 x 2 inches at Mohs 3.5 to 4, fully natural and untreated. A favorite grounding stone for entryways and display shelves.

About This Shungite

Shungite is matte black, carbon-rich, and lighter than it looks. Russian in origin, it's been used as a water filter and a talisman for centuries. Elite shungite has a silvery sheen, regular shungite is more matte.

Our polished crystals & decor are sourced from Republic of Karélia, Russia.

At 3.5 to 4 on the Mohs scale, it's on the softer end. Give it only a quick rinse and dry it, and store it separately from harder pieces.

Black color and ancient origin.

Traditionally Used For

In the tradition, shungite shows up most often around a sense of groundedness when things feel uncertain, cleansing, and staying connected to your body and the moment. It's traditionally linked to the root chakra. If that resonates, set one on the floor near where you sit to read or work. Trust what feels useful and leave the rest.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.

Care and Use

Sensitivity Very High

Shungite sits at 3.5-4 on the Mohs scale, soft enough to scratch with a knife, so store it on its own. A quick rinse is fine, but do not let it soak or sit in water. Keep chemical cleaners away from it; they can etch the surface.

Good to Know

Questions Before You Buy

Is this real shungite, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural shungite from Republic of Karélia, Russia. Polished shungite isn't heated, dyed, or color-treated. It's cut from rough and tumbled or buffed to a soft sheen. The color comes from the natural carbon content.

Will I get the exact pieces in the photos?

You'll receive pieces hand-picked from the same batch photographed. Each one is its own piece, so shape and color vary a little. Every piece passes our quality control and meets or exceeds what you see in the photos.

What size are the pieces?

Each piece measures 8.00” L x 4.00” W x 2.00” H (Approximate +/- 0.25”) and weighs 2.60 to 3 kilograms.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

Our shungite is mined in Karelia, Russia, near Lake Onega. That's the only meaningful commercial deposit in the world, so nearly all shungite on the market traces back to this region. It came to us through a direct source, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
