20 Pieces – Shungite Beads – 6 mm / 0.24 inch

These shungite beads 6mm are crafted from genuine natural shungite, a rare black mineral found only in Karelia, Russia. Each bead measures approximately 6 mm (0.23 inch) in diameter and features a clean, round shape with a smooth, polished surface.

Unlike factory-pressed beads made from powdered material, our genuine shungite beads are cut and shaped from solid pieces of natural stone. This traditional method preserves the true structure and properties of shungite. As a result, slight variations in shape and size may occur. These natural differences are not defects but clear signs of authenticity.

All beads have a hole diameter of approximately 1 mm. The hole edges remain naturally smooth rather than sharply cut, which helps reduce wear on elastic cords or stringing materials and extends the life of your jewelry.

Natural Features & Authenticity

Genuine shungite beads 6mm may contain visible inclusions of white quartz and golden pyrite. These natural elements form during the stone’s geological development and vary depending on depth, pressure, and formation conditions. Some beads show distinct inclusions, while others appear more uniform. Both are completely natural and expected in genuine shungite.

Shungite is known for its 100% electrical conductivity, a rare property among natural stones, and it is completely hypoallergenic. Each bead contains over 32% amorphous carbon, confirming its natural origin and high quality.

Ideal For

These genuine shungite beads are suitable for jewelry making, bracelets, necklaces, and custom designs where authenticity and natural character matter more than artificial perfection.

In conclusion, We would like to note that in other regions and countries there is no production of this rare mineral and there is a great risk of getting a fake. Read about it in our article-fake.
