Shungite Gemstone Beads
Bearing a rich, lustrous black sheen, Shungite is a rare carbon-based gemstone predominantly found in Shunga, a village in Karelia, Russia. Composed mostly of carbon, it has a unique molecular structure called 'fullerenes' ‚ which are hollow, globular molecules consisting entirely of carbon. These fullerenes are believed to contribute to the majority of Shungite's properties, providing it with an impressive hardness and resistance which is ideal for crafting durable gemstone beads.
Facts: Dating back billions of years, Shungite is often referred to as the 'Stone of Life' due to its ancient origins and extensive uses throughout history. Historical records and folklore suggest that the local populace of Karelia used the mysterious waters flowing over Shungite deposits for their healing qualities. By the 18th century, it became widely known in Russia for its purported medicinal properties, leading to its use in providing purified water for the Russian army by Peter the Great.
Metaphysical / Holistic: Shungite is revered for its alleged ability to purify, protect, and neutralize. It is said to shield against negative energies and electromagnetic frequencies, making it a popular choice for spiritually-inclined artists and healers.
