Type 1 vs Type 2 (and why Type 3 and Shungite SH has toxicity)

 

There are three factors which determine protection from harmful energy:

  1. Weight
  2. Purity
  3. Amount of direct contact with skin

Each of the items on the catalog are described by Weight/Purity

Purity Designations: Type 1 vs Type 2 vs Type 3 and Shungite SH

Our Type 1 and Type 2 Shungite is officially tested and verified at the source by an independent testing lab at the source in Karelia. Most Shungite sold online is not actually Shungite!!

Ask your vendor to display their authenticity certification before purchasing. It is not only a waste of money to buy a fake product, it may discourage you from investing in real Shungite in the future. This is very important that you know this!

Type 1 and Type 2 are both effective. Type 2 is less potent by about 25%. Therefore, a 12.5g Type 2 piece has the same effectiveness as a 10g Type 1 piece. It is that simple.

Type 1 Elite Shungite is about 97% fullerene content. These are offered in raw stones only as they cannot be manufactured into shapes - they are too fragile for this. Type 1 Shungite can be worn in pendants - this is what I wear.

If an elite type 1 stone has a DMG (or "Deep Mine") designation, it is extremely rare and has collector value, as well as slightly higher purity. (click here to see demonstration video). Type 1 offers extremely strong protective plus strong healing and recovery benefits. See chart above for an orientation to the different uses.

Type 2 Shungite is about 75% Fullerene content, less powerful but can be manufactured into wearable pieces.  They are very easy to counterfeit, so it is highly advised to perform a conductivity test on the product to test for authenticity. We do this for every item presented on the store. 

Type 3 and Shungite SH

Do not buy Type 3 or Shungite SH. These are basically of no use, worse yet, these types have been shown to leach heavy metals. For more information about this, read this article.

Shungite is most effective when worn as its counter-spin properties radiate outwards. This is why I have found that placing them near routers or other EMF sources in the home may not be entirely curative - because when you walk away from the router, you walk into the hot zone of another source (for example, a wireless printer or smart home device). Wearing it on you is direct protection from all sources that surround you.
