BENEFITS OF SHUNGITE IN WATER

• Due to its excellent adsorption properties, it is suitable for water treatment and harmonization.
• It balances the pH of water to values between 7 and 7.5.
• It is environmentally friendly and safe for human health.
• It is resistant to corrosion.

HISTORY

Shunga

Shungite got its name from the place of its first discovery – Karelian village of Shunga.

Tsar Peter the Great

Shungite has been used for its unique properties since the early 18th century. Tsar Peter the Great himself used it to treat water for the army.

In water treatment technology

Because of its unique properties, shungite has also begun to be used in water treatment technology. Apart from Russia, water treatment with shungite is widespread mainly in Norway, Sweden and America.

Northwestern Russia is the largest and oldest source of shungite, with other deposits reported in Austria, India, Kazakhstan and the Congo.

FEATURES

POLYMINERAL CARBONACEOUS ROCK

By virtue of its structure, shungite is a mineraloid – a non-porous polymineral carbon rock that contains nearly half of the elements of the periodic table. To the eye, it is an opaque black stone with a more or less pronounced metallic lustre.

USES

Spread on the bottom of the container, pour in drinking water

Spread 500 g of shungite grit on the bottom of a glass container and pour 5 litres of drinking water into it. Leave the container with the grit and water thus prepared in a dark place for 24 hours. Then pour the water into another clean container.

Caution:

• Before each use, especially the first use, rinse the shungite crumb thoroughly with water.
• After six months of use, the shungite pulp should be replaced with a new one.
• Always prepare the water in a glass or stoneware container.
• The possible appearance of rust stains is not detrimental. These are pyrite stains, which are a natural part of shungite.
