Shungite Crystal Tumbles

Shungite Crystal Tumble

Shungite Crystal Tumble is admired for its rich black colour, smooth polished finish, and remarkable carbon composition. Found almost exclusively in Karelia, Russia, Shungite is a unique mineral that contains a high percentage of carbon, including naturally occurring fullerene molecules. It has been valued for centuries and remains one of the most distinctive minerals within the crystal world.

Because of its naturally high carbon content, Shungite may leave faint black marks on your fingers or nearby surfaces during handling. This is completely normal and simply reflects the natural composition of the stone.

Available in two sizes:

◈ Large: approximately 3cm × 2.5cm (pictured)

✦ Small: approximately 2cm × 2cm

Whether carried throughout the day, displayed in your home, or used during meditation, a Shungite Crystal Tumble offers a meaningful reminder to stay grounded, centred, and resilient.
