About Us

Shungite Tolvu

We are glad to welcome you to our online store. All our products are made of authentic natural shungite stone. Each Shungite Tolvu product is hand-cut from a single piece of real shungite. This is not a pressed factory mold.

We personally organize the entire production process. From the supply of natural shungite stone from the Deposit to the manufacture of final products.

In fact, the production of natural stone products is a very complex process. It all starts with field development. In Karelia, this is the only developed shungite deposit Zazhogino (or Zazhoginskoye), which is located near the village of Tolvuya in the Medvezhyegorsky region of the Republic of Karelia, Russia. The development is carried out by only one single enterprise, “Carbon Shungit”. It has a license to develop these subsoil resources in Russia and has been conducting extensive scientific research into the shungite rock for many years. We purchase shungite stone of the third type from this company.
Next, we organized the production process at our own enterprise in Karelia and produce a huge range of shungite products and do engraving.

We cut blocks of shungite stone on specialized machines into blanks, then manually cut out specific products. This is very labor-intensive work in the Karelian region with a northern climate. Next, we process the surface of our products – grinding and polishing it. The polishing process is a repeated process of rubbing the stone using special hard, small particles of abrasive. They make the surface polished and therefore shiny. We do not paint our products, they are shiny due to polishing.

Beware of counterfeits

The actual process of making shungite stone products is very different from what is produced in China and falsely called shungite. Here we come to the production of counterfeits in China. Typically, such counterfeits are made using stamped molds: black liquid materials are poured into them, which then harden. It can be glass, plastic, acrylic and often even dangerous elements. Therefore, no one really knows what they are made of. They are very cheap and widespread almost everywhere, so the risk of running into a fake is currently very high.

Zazhoginsky Shungite Deposit

The Zazhogino Deposit in the Republic of Karelia is exactly the Shungite that has become the object of worldwide scientific research in the field of protection from EMF, water purification and many other unique and amazing properties of this black mineral.

The Shungite Tolvu company has been producing a variety of products from real shungite stone for more than 7 years. Each product is hand-carved by a craftsman from a monolithic single piece of natural shungite stone. We do not manufacture our products in molds or other stamped methods. We offer only natural products of 100% quality.

Shungite Tolvu guarantee of authenticity

We make all our products from genuine shungite stone. This deposit is located in the Republic of Karelia, Russia. We have done independent research at our Institute of Geology of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Petrozavodsk. Our city was named after Peter Romanov, the great Russian tsar.

Here are the results of chemical studies of three types of shungite stones. Regular (black, classic) shungite of the third type. Gray shungite (Petrovsky shungite) the second type. Elite shungite of the first type.

Please note that the results of chemical studies of genuine shungite are presented in Russian. You can see the П.П.П. value on each result, for each type of shungite. This abbreviation means: The concentration of the substance or the percentage of the substance in the mixture is the ratio of the mass of the substance to the mass of the mixture, written as a percentage: K= (mv/M)*100%, where mv is the mass of the substance, M is the mass of the whole mixture, K is the concentration (percentage) substances. In other words, this is the amount of carbon content in the studied shungite samples.

However, this does not mean that shungite cannot be certified. We want to give our customers not only simple verbal or written promises of guarantees, but also provide official confirmation of the authenticity of our products.
