Is it necessary to maintain (clean, charge, and care for) your Shungite?

Let's clear up any misunderstandings right away. Shungite serves people and constantly shifts from negative to positive. So you don't have to worry about cleaning, charging, or placing your Shungite pieces in the moonlight.

Letting go of what does not serve you

Shungite asks you to let go of old thoughts and beliefs and to act on them in a very playful way. Avoid rituals and, above all, continue to follow your heart.

Thinking logically

If Shungite has been on Earth for more than 2 billion years, can its purifying effect wear off in 6 months? Shungite never wears off and always continues to work.

Shungite works instantly!

Shungite contains fullerenes = C60. This is a molecule with as many as 60 atoms that generate trillions of vibrations per second. As a result, there is no waiting time and Shungite works immediately. Due to this extremely high vibration, no toxins or other harmful substances can stick to Shungite. Negative energies are also never absorbed by Shungite but are instead reversed.

  • Shungite has only positive effects.
  • Shungite cannot be compared to any other crystal, mineral, or type of stone.
  • Shungite is unique!

How do I clean my Shungite?

If you really want to clean your Shungite, you can dust it off occasionally. This will not affect its power or effectiveness, but you may find it more pleasing to the eye.

Nice and easy, right? šŸ˜‰

The only exception in terms of cleaning our Shungova Shungite products concerns our Shungite water purification stones. These are small, unpolished Shungite stones that you can put in your water for energetic purification of the water.

These stones contain a lot of Shungite dust, so it is a good idea to rinse them off before putting them in the water.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you maintain every type of Shungite item in the same way?

No maintenance is required. You can dust it if you prefer.

What happens if I don't clean Shungite properly?

Nothing happens. You don't need to clean Shungite. Shungite is a molecule with up to 60 atoms that generate trillions of vibrations per second. This means there is no waiting time and Shungite works instantly. Due to this extremely high vibration, no toxins or other harmful substances can stick to Shungite. Negative energies are also never absorbed by Shungite but are instead reversed.

How often should you recharge Shungite?

Charging is not necessary. If Shungite has been here on Earth for more than 2 billion years, can its purifying effect wear off in 6 months? Shungite never wears off and continues to work forever.

How can I discharge shungite?

This is also unnecessary. Due to the extremely high vibration, no toxins or other harmful substances can adhere to Shungite. Negative energies are also never absorbed by Shungite but are instead reversed.

How do you know that the stone works?

Shungite invites you. Depending on your process and your sensitivity, you may or may not consciously notice what the stone does for you. This does not mean that the stone does not work for someone who is 'not open' to it. Shungite always works.

We receive many wonderful responses from customers about their experiences with Shungite. Often, the effects are felt immediately, but just as often, awareness of the effects only comes later.

Is there a difference between Shungite and shungite?

Apart from the different spellings, there is no difference. There is only one source of Shungite, and if the Shungite or shungite you have purchased comes from there, you are indeed dealing with Shungite and its effects are always the same.

Is it normal for shungite to stain?

Shungite is a (very special) carbon compound. Like other carbon compounds, Shungite also leaves black marks. Unpolished Shungite leaves more marks than polished Shungite. If it leaves a lot of marks, you can rinse the Shungite so that it leaves fewer marks.

Shungite jewelry can also stain, some more than others. This depends on how your skin reacts to it. After a short time, the staining on the skin will stop.

I would not let this be a reason not to wear Shungite; the benefits of wearing Shungite and the protection it provides more than make up for it.

How do I clean Shungite that I use in water?

When using the water purification stones, we recommend rinsing off any dust before adding them to your water.

Is Shungite susceptible to scratches?

Shungite is not a (very) hard stone and can be susceptible to scratches. For example, if you were to use the Shungite tile Chissty as a 'cutting board', it would get scratched. So we would not recommend this. However, this would not affect its effectiveness.

Sometimes customers mistake certain spots/streaks for scratches. This is certainly not always the case. Read more about this here.
