WHERE DO WE SOURCE OUR SHUNGITE FROM?

We source ALL of our Shungite from our Trusted suppliers in the Republic of  Karelia, Russia. We have been dealing with them since 2013! Our genuine Shungite comes from the Zazhoginsky Deposit in Russia, the largest source of authentic Shungite in the world.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS IN SHUNGITE?

Shungite formed over 2 billion years ago, and during that time, other minerals and crystals formed and grew alongside it. These include Pyrite and Quartz, the two main variations usually present in Shungite. When you see these, it is another way to confirm your Shungite is genuine. These are not flaws; these variations are naturally occurring. There are also colour variations, and some Shungite will have fissures or pits that form during its natural growth. 

WILL SHUNGITE BLOCK EMFs?

There is some scientific research to suggest that Shungite lessens harmful EMF radiation. Shungite appears to transform harmful EMFs into wave-forms that are more biologically compatible with our human form. It does this not by eliminating, or blocking these but, by changing the properties of the harmful radiation. Shungite changes the “quality of the energies” not the “quantity of them” thereby allowing us to use these without being negatively influenced by them. So to be completely clear – if you are using a meter to test your Shungite – it won’t necessarily show a huge reduction in the reading but it will be transforming these EMFs to a less harmful emanation.

WHO OWNS THE SHUNGITE EXPERIENCE?

The Shungite Experience is owned and run by The Connell Family, who have been operating since 2013. We are an open and transparent business who have many years of genuine service and experience in Shungite and the retail industry. Our intention, when we decided to specialize in Shungite, was to give the Australian public, the BEST Shungite available in the World!

DO YOU GUARANTEE YOUR SHUNGITE?

We have a 100% guarantee that all of our products are genuine. We know Shungite and how to tell the fakes from the genuine product, this comes from dealing in the business for over 10 years! You can trust us to always offer only the highest grade, genuine Shungite products available!

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLISHED AND UNPOLISHED SHUNGITE?

The quick answer is nothing! The only difference is in appearance. You will see much more Pyrite and Quartz in unpolished Shungite and it is a little dusty when you first receive it but there is no difference in how it balances our biofield.
