The deep black of shungite
Shungite is a special, carbon-rich black mineral that comes from the Karelia region of Russia. This pendant is an uncut variant, so you will find a different surface pattern on every piece: some are slightly greyish, while others are deep black and matt in appearance.
Why many people look for it
Shungite has become increasingly popular in recent years among those who love natural black. The matt black colour is understated, not flashy, yet characterful. Many of our male customers also choose it, because it is a simple and masculine piece.
The structure of the pendant
The stone is held by a silver-coloured metal setting. The setting grips the stone from the side and back, so it stays firmly in place. A loop on top lets you thread your own chain, leather cord or braided string through it.
What it goes with
Black goes with any clothing. Daily wear with a T-shirt, an understated look at the office on a shirt, characterful for dinner on a jumper or for a formal suit. You can also choose it as a gift for someone who loves dark, natural materials.
Cleaning and storage
You can wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Protect it from chemicals and humid places. Stored in a separate soft pouch, it will retain its deep black colour for a long time. The raw surface may be slightly dusty in places, which you can easily wipe off with a cloth.
Many customers tell us that shungite has become their favourite, because it looks both simple and special at the same time. You can take it to the office, at home and even for sports; the matt black is not flashy. Over time the surface may become a little shinier from wear.
