What is elite shungite stones?

Noble Elite shungite from Karelia is the rarest mineral. According to scientists, elite shungite mineral is over 2 billion years old. This mineral consists almost entirely of a very special type of amorphous carbon up to 98%. No carbon-bearing mineral has this type of structure.

Perhaps that is why molecules of fullerenes c60 and c70 were found in shungite. In turn, fullerenes are the strongest antioxidants on Earth.

In addition, the unique composition of shungite is of scientific interest in the field of protection against dangerous waves of high-frequency radiation. After all, scientists have found out that shungite helps to fight harmful EMF radiation.

Also, real shungite has amazing antiseptic properties, which are revealed in water.

Where is the deposit of this rare mineral?

This unique shungite deposit contains mainly large deposits of type II shungite stones. However, among it came across very shiny veins of elite shungite of the first type, which we are talking about here. In turn, this elite shungite differed greatly from the host rocks in its brilliance.

The study of the deposit was started in the Russian Empire in the 1830s of the 19th century. Since then, interest in this area has periodically arisen. The fact is that geologists expected to use this mineral instead of coal.
But shungite was not destined to become coal for the interests of Peter the Great, and then the Land of the Soviets. Since repeated tests of shungite of the second type, which was located at this deposit in large quantities, did not lead to success.

Why is this mineral so rare?

The fact is that, the total content of elite shungite of the first variety in this deposit is about 0.2%. These figures were obtained by geologists as early as 1933. And since then, the number of brilliant veins of elite shungite has come to naught.

Therefore, it is currently not possible to find unique veinlets with elite shungite at the deposit. In this regard, large specimens are a real find. In addition, this deposit has been officially mothballed since the 90s of the 20th century and there is no access to it.
