Shungite Pyramid - Height: 9 cm - Width: 10 cm- 620 g - (1)

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.
