It allows for light to fill the body and negativity to be removed. Due to Shungite\u2019s large deposits, the world is able to see many forms of Shungite. Wearing any piece of jewelry or having any form of it on you will greatly increase your protective shield. Shungite\u2019s deep rooting capability will house sacred energies that can be easily summoned for shielding of any kind.Shungite can also be used to make many elixirs. One very common Elixir would be soaking the stone in water for a brief period of time allowing it to purify. Drinking the purified water is beneficial to cell growth and assisting in the detoxification of our body. Please note, not all Shungite can be properly used for consumption and it\u2019s best to only purchase specific \u201cdrink-safe\u201d Shungite products.","first_description":"<h3>Science & Origin of Shungite<\/h3>Shungite is a carbon-based stone that was first discovered in the Shun\u2019ga Village in Karelia Republic (northern Region of Russia).
