Burro Street Trading Post

Regular price $2.75

This listing is for a single (1) Shungite stone.  These are natural Crystals and Gemstones, so each stone will be unique and have variations in natural characteristics such as Size, Shape, Inclusions, and Color.

Like Crystals, SHUNGITE stones have been around for millennia.  Shungite is very high in Carbon content.  In recent years, they have become popular in complementary and alternative medicine.  Many people say that shungite can: 

  • Soothe insomnia
  • Relieve pain 
  • Improve energy levels
  • Detoxify the mind, body, and spirit
  • Protect against electromagnetic frequency
  • Purify water 

Many people say that shungite can help lower stress and anxiety because it absorbs negative energy.


Shungite has been used as a folk medical treatment since the early 18th century. Peter The Great 
set up Russia's first spa to make use of the water purifying properties of shungite, which he had himself experienced. He also instigated its use in providing purified water for the Russian army. The anti-bacterial properties of shungite have been confirmed by modern testing.
