Shungite is an ancient stone, composed mostly of carbon. It is the only natural mineral that contains fullerenes, which are specific formations of carbon that have healing properties. Shungite is thought to have anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting, toxin neutralization, EMF protection, and other properties. The anti-bacterial properties of shungite have been confirmed by modern testing. Shungite is said to be a powerful grounding and stress reducing crystal, and resonates with the Root chakra.
