Shungite in Crystal Healing.
Arising from it's unique formation Shungite has phenomenal shielding powers and can be considered as a 'forcefield' around the body for it's ability to neutralise forms of negative energy.
Shungite contains fullerenes which are excellent geothermal and electromagnetic conductors and yet also act as shields to EMF (electromagnetic frequency emissions).
Shungite is often used to absorb and remove pollutants such as pesticides, micro-organisms and free radicals from water by infusing the water with Shungite for 48 hours. Drinking this infusion several times a day is said to have many positive health benefits.
