Why elite shungite is called Russian?

In fact, the deposit of this rare mineral is located only in Russia, because this republic is part of Russia. Since more people in the world know about the country, they most often use the epithet “Russian” when talking about this amazing silvery mineral.

Unfortunately, recently there has been information that supposedly russian elite shungite can be found in other places on the planet. This is of course not true. This is what unscrupulous sellers do, who pass off ordinary anthracite coal as this rare mineral. They are very similar in appearance. At the same time, they pass off large pieces of anthracite of great weight as this rare Russian mineral.

Electrical conductivity of an authentic stone sample from Russia

As a rule, fakes do not conduct electric current in the same way as genuine elite shungite does. But if you do a current resistance test, then the fakes will have some kind of current resistance. This distinguishes them from genuine Russian elite shungite, which is a conductor of electric current and has zero resistance to current (or resistance tending to zero).

Why is this mineral so rare?

Currently, the mine of this mineral is completely exhausted. This happened in 1980 at the time when the Soviet Union existed. Now there are only crumbs and very small veins. It is extremely rare to find samples of large size. These samples are really of great value because to find such a sample is a great success.

Each year the mine eroded by melt water, with the result that at any moment the mine could collapse. In addition, every year it becomes more difficult to find the remains of russian elite shungite stone. As a result, this rare mineral may disappear from nature completely in the near future. Currently, republic of Karelia in Russia is the only place on earth where this unique mineral was found.
