Knowledge & Wisdom
History
Czar-endorsed medicinal use
Modern & Scientific Use
• Peter the Great’s water purifiers
• Fullerenes neutralize EMF

Immune support, stress reduction
Archetype
The Shield: dense, matte, and quietly solid—a symbol of boundaries, filters, and taking breaks from noise.
Grid Design & Feng Shui
(Minimalist, tech-adjacent styling without promising protection.)
Theme: “Off-Switch on the Desk”
Placement Concept:
• Near charging stations, routers, or work laptops as a visual reminder to log off.
• Presentation: On a coaster, slate tile, or metal dish to echo its industrial feel.
• Shape Layout: Cubes or tiles in a straight line; pyramids standing like tiny signal towers.
• Lighting: Low, side lighting to emphasize its matte texture.
• Avoid: Water immersion for non-elite varieties; prolonged soaking can weaken crumbly pieces.
