Shungite – symbolism and energetic meaning

Shungite is traditionally known as a powerful protective and grounding stone. It is associated with energetic purification, shielding from negative influences, and restoring balance on physical, emotional, and mental levels. Many people choose shungite as support during periods of stress, overload, or transformation, as it helps clear stagnant energy, strengthen personal boundaries, and promote inner stability.

Geological properties

Shungite is a rare carbon-based mineral containing carbon and silicon, formed nearly two billion years ago. The most significant deposits are located in Karelia, Russia. With a Mohs hardness of approximately 3.5–4, shungite is relatively soft and should be handled with care when worn as jewelry.

Shungite may be gently cleaned in warm soapy water once a week or at least monthly. Avoid harsh chemicals or detergents. After cleansing, it can be recharged overnight under moonlight or for a short time in sunlight.
