Shungite - tumbled
Shungite is sourced from the area of the village Shun'ga on lake Putkozero in northwest Russia. Shun'ga is part of the Republic of Kareliya (Karelian Republic), Russia. Lake Putkozero is the nearest lake to Shun'ga, and some sources will name the larger lake, Lake Onega as the location, as it is the second largest lake in Europe and locale of the Karelian Republic. Shun'ga off lake Onega (and more specifically Lake Putkozero) is the only source of Shungite in the world.
Because of its high carbon content shungite is soft (3.5-4 Moh's hardness scale) and doesn't hold a shine very well and may rub off. Use caution as this may stain. This can also be a way to differentiate it from other black stones. Rub it on light colored piece of paper, if it makes a streak, it's likely Shungite.
