Shungite stone of 2 type from Karelia, Russia

Shungite stone of 2 type only from Karelia.

The Shungite stone of 2 type or Petrovsky shungite is an extremely rare mineral of precambrian era. In the scientific community, this rare ancient mineral is called shungite of the second type. The only Deposit found only in Russia, the Republic of Karelia region.

The chemical composition of shungite is not similar to other types of minerals. In addition, this composition is unique because it is 66% pure allotropic carbon.

This unique structure of shungite carbon contains various C60 and C70 fullerene molecules. At the same time, it is known that fullerene molecules are the most powerful antioxidants on Earth.  Learn more about the very rare and ancient mineral shungite.

In our store you can find more than 200 different products from genuine shungite stone. View the catalog. Also, we make real shungite stone pyramids, spheres, tiles and other goods. For example, this shungite pendant Heart.

Ability of shungite mineral.

In the course of worldwide scientific research, fullerenes were found in the chemical composition of carbon genuine Shungite stone. These are rare molecular compounds that are of great value to science. In addition, it is one of the most powerful antioxidants in nature.

Also, the shungite mineral has a unique property to conduct electric current in a way that only metals can do. Therefore, in connection with this ability, scientists have found that shungite is able to neutralize harmful high-frequency waves of electromagnetic waves.

Electrical conductivity of shungite and check of authenticity.

As you know, shungite conductivity is the most unique property of shungite. After all, shungite is the only mineral that does not belong to the group of metals, and at the same time has the highest conductivity among all minerals.

Accordingly, real shungite has a specific resistance to electric current, which is close to zero: 2,18∙10^-4 Om∙m. Therefore shungite conductivity is very high and is on par with the conductors.

Thus, it is very easy to check the sample for authenticity. After all, only real shungite will have resistance to current, which tends to zero.

At the same time, the conductivity of real shungite does not depend on the amount of unique carbon in the rock composition. Therefore, shungite of the third type from the Zazhoginsky deposit and this shungite of the First type (elite or noble shungite) will have almost the same conductivity.

Why is shungite of the first type so rare?

The fact is that only in Karelia in Russia there are deposits of Shungite stone of 2 type. This is the only deposit in the world located in Karelia, Russia, near the village of Shunga. The name of shungite mineral was given by the name of this village.

And the shungite mine was officially opened around the 1930s of the last century. In conclusion, this only mine in Karelia, where shungite was found, was depleted back in the days of the Soviet Union (1980).

Forgery of shungite stone.

Please take into account the fact that shungite cannot be cheaper than in the region where it is mined. In addition, sellers or stores from other countries (Ukraine, Kazakhstan, USA, Canada, UK, etc.) may be deceived in good faith or intentionally deceive their customers.

The fact is that this mineral is relatively expensive. It is also a very rare mineral, because it cannot be found anywhere in the world except for Karelia. Therefore, the temptation to make a fake or give out a copy of a mineral-forgery under the guise of a real shungite is certainly great.

However, lately there are still scammers who claim to have found shungite in other places on the planet Earth. In fact, they are deceiving.

Certificate of authenticity.

• The company “Shungite Tolvu” is a store that was born in Karelia, therefore, so we guarantee the authenticity of shungite stone and each piece of shungite stone.
• After all, we have received the official Protocol of research and chemical analysis of shungite stone and our shungite samples. We did it in the capital of Karelia, Petrozavodsk (named after the Russian Tsar Peter Romanov), because the Research Geological Institute is located there.
• This way we guarantee you that all our samples of original shungite stone are genuine. Additionally, you will receive from us this serebristyy rare mineral from Karelia directly without mediators. It also eliminates the possibility of forgery.
