Shungite is a lustrous black rock consisting almost entirely of carbon, with a number of other minerals distributed throughout. Its origin appears to be biological, like coal or oil. It has also been found to contain fullerenes, very interesting carbon structures with unique properties that were named after Buckminster Fuller (also called buckyballs). However, it should be noted that these only occur in very trace amounts in shungite.  Shungite has been found to have antibacterial properties useful in purifying water and is being studied for potential medical applications which may be due to its carbon content rather than particular aspects of shungite itself.  As you may already know, carbon is commonly used in water filters already.

Shungite is known for its properties of purification, grounding, healing and protection.  Similar to the way a water filter purifies water, shungite offers a similar function for your auric field by filtering out emotional energies and patterns from within you and around you that are not serving you in a positive way. These attributes make it a good stone to have in your environment for every day psychic health. (This also means it needs to be cleaned and cleared regularly.)  Shungite is also a powerful grounding stone which helps anchor you in your body and strengthen and stabilize your root chakra.  The combination of grounding and purifying makes it a steady and protective guide for doing deeper emotional work.  As you dig into past experiences and buried emotions that make up your shadow side, shungite helps to transmute those energies into light energy.

Shungite also protects you by not allowing you to pick up negative energies from other people; it also helps you to clarify and remain firm with your boundaries.  Shungite helps you establish what energy is “yours” and what energies belong to other people which then allows you to release responsibility for it.  These attributes make it a good stone for those in the healing professions to protect their personal energy and not take on energy from others.  It would make a great gift for a nurse, therapist, or reiki practitioner.

If you’re looking to purify and cleanse your space or yourself from stagnant, dark or heavy energies, shungite is a very effective and powerful tool.  You can also pair it with selenite for cleansing and release rituals, with moonstone to dive deep into your inner knowing, or with garnet to increase stamina.
