Beautiful Shungite square slabs! Great quality, well crafted and nice thickness. I have two, I ordered the second one because I loved the first one so much and both are great! Highly recommend.

In Short

These are regular-grade Type III Shungite polished square slabs from the Republic of Karelia, Russia. Shungite is a non-crystalline carbon-rich rock nearly unique to Karelia, matte black throughout. Each slab measures about 4.00 x 4.00 x 0.50 inches at Mohs 2, fully natural and untreated. A favorite grounding stone for desks.

About This Shungite

Shungite is matte black, carbon-rich, and heavier 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.

Sourced directly from Republic of Karélia, Russia. At 2 on the Mohs scale, it's on the softer end. Keep it away from water and store it separately from harder pieces.

Black color and ancient origin.

Traditionally Used For

In crystal traditions, shungite is often associated with 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. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.

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