How Rare Is Our DMG Elite Type 1 Shungite?
DMG Deep Mine Shungite is a rare and exceptional form of Type 1 Shungite, sourced exclusively from the deposit near Lake Onega in Karelia. Found deeper in the mine, DMG Shungite is distinguished by its smooth, glass-like appearance. When fractured, it shatters like broken glass bottles—a clear indicator of its pure, clean crystalline structure, containing an impressive 97.5% carbon fullerene. This homogeneity across the surface reflects a level of purity rarely seen in other Shungite.
In comparison, other Type 1 Shungite often appears rough and chunky due to impurities like non-fullerene carbon, iron, or quartz, which disrupt the crystalline structure and create jagged edges. This difference is similar to comparing a flawless diamond to one marred by coal inclusions. Both Shungite and diamonds are carbon-based and pressure-formed, but just as a diamond's smooth clarity indicates purity, the sleek, glassy texture of DMG Shungite signals its superior quality.
Given its rarity, for every 100,000 non-DMG Shungite stones mined, only a single DMG Deep Mine Shungite is found. This exclusivity makes DMG Shungite a premium choice for those seeking the highest quality available.
