{"product_id":"elite-shungite-sphere","title":"Elite Shungite Stone Sphere (Type I, Elite) One Piece, Sourced from Russia size: ~2 Inch Sphere","description":"Shungite is classified into five types based on carbon content. The vast majority of commercial shungite is Type III–V, containing 30–80% carbon — useful, but not exceptional. Elite Type I shungite contains 90–98% carbon and is the only classification that carries a significant concentration of fullerenes: hollow carbon nanocages (C₆₀, C₇₀) first identified in a Nobel Prize-winning discovery in 1996. These are the compounds responsible for shungite's documented electromagnetic and antioxidant properties. This cube is Elite Type I. **Metaphysical Associations** *(for those who work with crystal energy)* Those building an intentional space who want a grounding object with verifiable material properties. People with high screen time, home offices with dense electronics, or anyone interested in the growing intersection of mineral science and wellness. Collectors interested in genuinely rare natural materials. Place near electronics, workstations, or routers for environmental grounding. For water activation, submerge cleaned shungite in a glass or ceramic container of water for 8–12 hours before drinking. Cleanse the stone periodically under running water (shungite is water-safe). Handle as a tactile meditation or grounding object during high-stress periods. **Two billion years of carbon compression, shaped into a cube you can hold.** There's nothing else quite like it. CARE, RETURNS \u0026amp; AUTHENTICITY: Each piece ships in clean, tamper-evident sealed packaging for your hygiene and peace of mind. Natural variation in color, size, shape, and inclusions is a hallmark of authentic crystals, not a flaw. Each specimen is one of a kind, so yours will differ slightly from the photos. Returns accepted within 30 days on unused items in original sealed packaging. For hygiene reasons, opened crystal items are subject to a 15% restocking fee. CARE \u0026amp; HANDLING: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid prolonged water exposure and harsh sunlight to preserve color and finish.","brand":"Wax | Wane","offers":[{"title":"~2 Inch Sphere","offer_id":52742955172152,"sku":"shungite-sphere","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/waxandwane.store\/products\/elite-shungite-sphere","provider":"Wax | Wane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
