About this stone: Shungite

Shungite is a natural, black, carbon-rich material from Karelia in north-western Russia. It is not a crystalline mineral but a mineraloid: original shungite is non-crystalline carbon with about 98 wt% C, while the same name is also used for shungite rocks, metamorphosed ancient oil shales that contain far less carbon. Mindat treats lustrous shungite as a variety of pyrobitumen.
