Buying shungite: What you should really look out for in 2025

If you search for “buy shungite“, you will quickly be inundated with offers – from cheap stones on Amazon to expensive amulets with “personal energization”. But what really matters? In this guide, we’ll show you how to recognize genuine, effective shungite – and why quality is crucial.

What is shungite actually?

Shungite is a rare carbon mineral that occurs almost exclusively in the Karelia region of Russia. It consists of over 90 % carbon and contains unique molecules known as fullerenes. These spherical structures are being researched in science for their antioxidant properties.

The 3 types of shungite

• Type I (elite shungite) – Over 95 % carbon, rare, shiny, expensive
• Type II (1A shungite) – 70-90 % carbon, best mixture of effect & availability
• Type III (normal shungite) – Below 50 % carbon, often sold as “shungite sand”

➡️ Our tip: Only buy type II (1A) or type I – everything else has hardly any energetic effect of shungite.

Where to buy shungite? Online or on site?

Most suppliers obtain shungite via middlemen – often without any control over its origin. At Shield Guard, you get shungite directly from trustworthy sources, energetically purified and specially optimized.
