Noble Shungite, also known as Elite or Silver Shungite, is the extremely rare variety of the mineral Shungite. This mineral is unlike any other stone in the world and can only be found in the famous Shungite deposits of Karelia, Russia.
All Shungite is carbon-based and contains the naturally occurring molecules called “fullerenes”, which have been confirmed to contain antibacterial microbes. These molecules have been used for hundreds of years to purify water.
