Shungite

Uncommon card · No. 192920

Shungite is either a diverse group of metamorphosed Precambrian rocks all of which contain pyrobitumen, or the pyrobitumen within those rocks. Shungite was first discovered in Karelia, Russia, in a rock deposit near Shunga village (from where it gets its name). Shungite, in recent times, has developed a reputation for a preponderance of pseudoscientific and quack claims about its uses in medicine and technology, where it is claimed to have properties ranging from nebulous health benefits to blocking 5G radiation.
