All about shungite for your household 

Shungite is a solid black mineral from Northern Russia containing c-60 with fulerenes. Discovered in the 1700s it's fullerene component was the subject of a 10 year research project for which two people were awarded the 1996 Nobel prize for chemistry.
It has beneficial metaphysical (protection), biological(curative, preventative), electrical(barrier) and beauty (cleansing, cleaning, free radical) properties and other practical uses.
Clean stones used in home water purification every 2-6 months by leaving out in the sun.
