Elite shungite, the rarest grade, carries a natural metallic sheen that borders on silver.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1iy4o_107\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnergy:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e One of the most powerful protective and purifying stones known, shungite is said to absorb and neutralise electromagnetic frequencies, environmental pollutants, and negative energetic influences. It grounds with exceptional force, anchors scattered energy into the body, and creates a field of energetic stability around its bearer — making it as practical as it is powerful.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1iy4o_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e✦ Shungite is estimated to be approximately 2 billion years old — predating complex life on Earth — and is found in significant quantities in only one location in the world: the Karelia region of Russia, near Lake Onega. It is the only known natural mineral to contain fullerenes — hollow, cage-like carbon molecules also known as Buckyballs — a discovery so significant that the scientists who identified fullerenes were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996. Shungite had been forming them, quietly, for two billion years before anyone thought to look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1iy4o_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a stone that does not need to announce itself.
