What are the benefits of a shungite bracelet?
The opaque mineral has been credited with a healing effect since ancient times. Esotericists recommend that men wear a shungite bracelet on their right hand to increase self-confidence and arouse interest in women. It is better to wear the jewelry last on the left hand – then you can fully take advantage of its healing properties. The energy of the stone will reduce the impact of cyclical hormonal changes, increase hemoglobin production and slow down the onset of old age. CONTENTS: скрыть
Shungite – what kind of stone is it?
Shungite got its name from the location where it was found – the deposits were discovered on the banks of the Karelian Shunga River. When describing it, the terms lydite or paragon are often used, and when people mention the mineral, they say “slate stone”.
The basis of the composition is carbon, the properties are between graphite and anthracite, the color is from brown to coal black.
What does the mineral look like?
Externally, shungite is similar to coal, only the shine is not glassy, but matte. The structure is porous and may contain foreign inclusions – quartz, pyrite, graphite and other rocks. In nature, it occurs in the form of plates or boulders of various sizes with jagged edges.
History of the origin of the stone
Scientists are still debating how the mineral appeared. According to one version, it is mined in places where meteorites fall, so there are few deposits. According to another, the breed is of organic origin. The transformation of ancient trees, bottom silt and lizard bones occurred under the influence of geological processes that caused dehydration and compaction of organic matter. According to the third, the rock appeared after volcanic eruptions; shungite was formed from cooled lava. The first to describe the mineral were Academician N. Ozeretskovsky in 1792 and mining engineer N. Komarov in 1848. A more thorough study of the new rock was carried out by Doctor of Mineralogy A. Inostrantsev in 1877.
Legends about the gem
There are legends about the medicinal effects of shungite. Allegedly, Peter I drank water only from Karelian springs for the last 10 years of his life, so he could lead an active life, despite kidney disease. And Princess Romanova, exiled to Karelia in the XNUMXth century, thanks to a spring passing through the layers of rock, was able to give birth to the ancestor of the future tsars of Russia – Mikhail Fedorovich. If the first legend can be reliable, then the second is the result of folk art. When the woman was forced to take monastic vows, the royal offspring was already 5 years old.
Physical and chemical characteristics
Shungite is a mixture of carbon allotropes, the crystal lattices are connected by amorphous carbon. The mineral has catalytic and sorption properties.

How to choose and wear jewelry made from an unusual stone

- Rosaries and bracelets with ball beads are more aimed at healing and restoring mental balance.
- Beads, pendants and earrings increase attractiveness in the eyes of the opposite sex.
- Cube-shaped stones attract financial flows.
- Pyramids protect against damage, the evil eye and hatred.
- Pendants in the shape of icicles enhance intuition and help solve difficult problems – life and mathematics.
Before purchasing shungite, you need to hold it in your hand. If you don’t want to stroke the velvet surface and hold it close, then the owner and the talisman are not suitable for each other.
Which hand to wear a shungite bracelet on?
The healing properties are more pronounced when the jewelry is closer to the heart. But if men want to arouse women’s interest, then it is better to wear a bracelet on their right hand so that it covers the pulse area.
How to charge a bracelet with positive energy
Shungite accumulates negative energy, so it quickly gets tired and needs to be cleaned and recharged. A mineral with masculine energy, patronized by the element of fire, is cleansed and charged over a candle flame or the energy of the sun. Shungite jewelry or product should be carried over the fire 3-5 times or left in sunlight for 3 hours.
Caring for shungite products
It is recommended to avoid contact of the mineral with household chemicals, perfumes, and skin care products. Jewelry should be removed when visiting a bathhouse or sauna, before swimming in a pool or swimming in the sea.
If the crystal is heavily soiled, you can wash the crystal with running water, but it is better to wipe it with a damp, soft cloth with lint. All jewelry should be stored in separate bags.
Shungite is afraid of temperature changes. If you take it out into the cold and then suddenly bring it into a warm room, it will crack. To prevent this from happening, in winter it is better to wrap the jewelry in several layers of fabric, put it in a pocket or bag, and wear it only indoors.
How to distinguish a real stone from a fake
Mineral authenticity test:
- Connect a light bulb, a 9 V battery and 2 wires in series.
- A stone is introduced into the chain at any stage.
- If the light comes on, the shungite is natural; no, it is a different breed or a fake.
Mineral cost
A polished bead with a diameter of 10 mm is estimated at 25–30 rubles, the price of a bracelet made of natural stone is within 500 rubles.
The cost of jewelry depends on the metal of the frame and additional inclusions. Silver rings can be purchased for 300–500 rubles.
Where to buy a shungite bracelet
It is advisable to purchase jewelry in jewelry stores. Each product must be accompanied by a certificate. When purchasing online, there is a high chance of getting a fake.
A fake cannot be used for meditation, as a talisman or for medicinal purposes. Even artificial stones, similar in properties to natural ones, do not have the beneficial effects of a natural mineral.
