Shungite Ring $48.00

Shungite Ring $48.00

This ring features shungite, a carbon-rich metamorphic rock primarily composed of non-crystalline carbon. Found almost exclusively in Karelia, Russia, shungite is known for its unique structure, which includes fullerenes—molecular carbon structures with hollow, cage-like shapes.

Features:

  • Composition: Mostly carbon (up to 98% in elite shungite), with trace amounts of silicates, oxides, and other minerals.
  • Appearance: Opaque black with a matte to slightly metallic luster; may show natural veining or surface texture.
  • Formation: Believed to have formed from ancient organic material subjected to intense heat and pressure over geological time.
  • Physical Properties: Lightweight and relatively soft (Mohs hardness 3.5–4), with a distinctive dull or semi-metallic sheen.
  • Educational Value: Offers a unique example of natural carbon allotropes and is of interest in materials science due to its fullerene content and conductivity.

A shungite ring highlights a rare and geologically significant form of carbon, making it a conversation piece rooted in natural history and material science.
