Shungite is a black mineral known to mankind for a long time. The stone has taken an intermediate position between anthracite coal and crystalline graphite, and its geological age is more than two billion years. This assumption is based on the fact that the mineral is in that globe of the Earth, which was laid back when there were no living organisms on the planet. It is worth noting that the exact nature of the occurrence of the rock is unknown and is based only on the assumptions of scientists.

Legends of the stone
The humankind discovered the unique properties and capabilities of the stone as early as the 16th century, only then it was called a scythe stone and was used to a greater extent to purify water. At the beginning of the 17th century, water with a filter from a slate stone healed Ksenia Romanova from epilepsy. A little later, Peter I became interested in such a source and decided to experience the miraculous healing water on his own. After that, during military battles, each soldier had to carry a piece of this stone with him so that he could always clear the water and make it healing.
