This somewhat rare stone is from Russia, and its interesting properties continue to be researched. Shungite can conduct energy, which makes it somewhat unique. It is associated with being a very grounding stone that transmutes & shields negativity, is protective and boosts our immune systems. More research needs to be done on its effects of blocking Electromagnetic Radiation, but I do have shungite pieces around all my devices (computers, tablets, cash machine, wifi routers etc., and I keep my phone away from me as much as possible). Shungite says, "I am here to ground and connect you to the Earth and at same time remind you that your higher self is always whispering to you things you forgot. Know that you are safe, and that fear is the cause of all your suffering. Everything is happening FOR you, not TO you. You create your reality, so visualize your heart out and see the lighter side of all situations!" :)
