Shungite is an intriguing mineral, famed for its antioxidant effects.  It is said to be over 2 billion years old and is found only in the Karelia region of Russia, near its namesake town of Shunga.  For centuries Russians have known of the curative properties of water from the area.   It is the presence of Fullerenes in Shungite that generates much of the recent interest in the material.   Discovered in 1985, a fullerene is a molecule of carbon in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, tube, or other shape.  Only minute quantities of fullerenes, in the form of C₆₀, C₇₀, C₇₆, C₈₂ and C₈₄ molecules, are produced in nature, hidden in soot and formed by lightning discharges in the atmosphere.   When placed in water, shungite removes contaminates, bacteria, microorganisms and much more.  Shungite is an effective natural method of vastly improving water quality.
