Description from the seller
Title
Authentic Shungite Pyramid – 10×10×9 cm – 620 g – Premium Grade – Karelia (Russia) – Precambrian Mineraloid
Full description
I present an authentic Shungite pyramid, carved from a solid block and originating from Karelia (Russia), the only region in the world where this unique mineraloid, formed in the Precambrian over 2 billion years ago, is found.
This piece stands out for its true density, natural mineral texture, inherent inclusions, and an imposing aesthetic presence. Authentic large Shungite pyramids are becoming increasingly rare due to the scarcity of the original material.
Technical Data
Base measurements: 10 × 10 cm
Height: 9 cm (exact measurement)
Weight: 620 grams
Material: Authentic natural Shungita
Composition: amorphous carbon + silicates
Hardness: 3.5–4 Mohs
Real density of the material: 1.85 – 2.10 g/cm³
Origin: Karelia, Russia
Visual authenticity test – veins and mineral traces
The photographs clearly show the genuine mineral structure of Shungite.
Gray veins, white streaks, microfractures, and areas with different light absorption.
Authentic Shungite is never completely black nor entirely uniform.
A smooth, homogeneous surface without traces indicates resin, painted basalt, or synthetic compositions.
These visible irregularities are the geological footprint that certifies its natural origin.
Direct physical test – Amorphous carbon transfer
Photo included in the lot
When handling the piece, the natural amorphous carbon present in authentic Shungite leaves a black mark on the fingers.
The included image clearly demonstrates it.
This behavior
certifies mineral authenticity
demonstrates actual geological carbon content
Discards resins, composites, and dyed basalt.
Only occurs in genuine Shungita from Karelia.
No imitation produces this such a characteristic physical test.
Warnings – Counterfeits in the market and platforms
In the market, there are numerous imitations from China and India, made of black resin, reconstituted stone, or dyed basalt.
Even on some platforms, they are offered as authentic Shungita.
This piece has been verified through:
correct density
Natural mineral texture
real transfer of carbon
presence of veins and traces
absence of artificial patterns
Tip – Mathematical proof of authenticity
Authentic Shungite should have a weight consistent with the actual density of the mineral (1.85–2.10 g/cm³).
A pyramid measuring 10×10×9 cm and weighing 620 g fits exactly into the expected density, confirming its authenticity.
Mathematics and physics do not lie: they are an objective and infallible proof.
Seller's Authenticity Seal (Personal Brand)
I work exclusively with authentic material, acquired through reliable wholesalers and, when appropriate, direct purchases at the source.
My personal signature is based on:
Real authenticity
Only natural minerals, without resins, without composites, and without reconstituted stone.
Technical knowledge
Identification by density, texture, geological pattern, and physical behavior.
Verifiable arguments
My pieces are supported by measurable data: weight, density, geological traces, mineral structure.
Professional instinct
The developed instinct cultivated over years allows recognizing authenticity instantly.
It is a unique value that I offer to the demanding buyer.
Real value and revaluation of authentic mineral
Genuine minerals have a completely different value from imitations.
Authentic Shungite, limited to Karelia, has a restricted supply and is gaining increasing interest among collectors, experts, and buyers seeking genuine pieces.
Large, dense pieces like this 620 g pyramid are experiencing a continuous revaluation due to their rarity and extraction difficulty.
The buyer acquires a physical asset with real geological value, not a mass-produced object.
Recognition of mining work
Each piece comes from the effort of miners who work in demanding technical and physical conditions to extract this unique material. Their work deserves recognition.
Shipment
Fast, protected, and insured shipping. Professional packaging for collectible mineral specimens.
