Silver shungite stone is one of the rarest minerals on earth. Also this mineral has another name – Elite. This rock really has a light gray color that resembles silver. It is a smooth shiny surface that reflects light. This mineral contains C60 fullerenes in its chemical composition. It is a 98% carbon of unique form that is found nowhere else in nature. Learn more about it here.

This rare very large sample of elite shungite comes only from Karelia, the Shungskoye deposit. This is the only elite shungite deposit in the world with a carbon content of up to 99%. Also, scientists have found unique c60 and c70 fullerenes only in elite Karelian shungite.

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 shungite elite 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 silver shungite stone. As a result, this rare mineral may disappear from nature completely in the near future. Currently, this is the only place on earth where this unique mineral was found.

Only authentic samples in our store

Each have presented sample of silver shungite stone in our store is unique. All these samples has a natural shape and has not been subject to any processing. Each piece had been mined by hand. Please note, some pieces  may contain small veins of rust inclusions. These are natural inclusions of the genuine minerals. The traces of other minerals that have oxidized under the influence of oxygen and water.
These rust marks can be removed with a hard brush. Some inclusions go deep into the mineral and are difficult to clean.
This mineral is electrically conductive. Shungite elite freely conducts electric current while the resistance force tends to zero. This ability, combined with a unique allotropic carbon, makes elite shungite a stone that protects against EMF radiation.

All of these rare specimens is unique in the world and has no repetitions.
