Shungite properties:

Peter the Great was treated for an ailment with shungite.  He then established the first spa in Russia in Karelia where people were treated with water that had been purified using shungite.  We now know that shungite is naturally antibacterial.

Shungite metaphysical properties:

Metaphysically, Shungite helps a restless nature calm down.  More than anything, it is perhaps the best stone for grounding and is especially beneficial for individuals with pronounced traits of a quick wit, high intelligence and an acumen for elegant speech.
