Description
This raw elite shungite ring features a genuine raw Elite Shungite nugget in deep black with a distinctive metallic lustre, its natural unpolished surface left completely intact so every facet of the stone is preserved, as copper grows directly around it. A grounding, protective presence for daily wear. A piece with a quiet authority — shungite is one of the most unusual minerals on earth, and Elite Shungite is its rarest form.
Shungite is associated with grounding, protection, and calm clarity. A root chakra stone. Wear it when you need to feel shielded and steady.
Why Raw Elite Shungite
Shungite is a naturally occurring carbon-based mineral found almost exclusively in the Karelia region of Russia, near Lake Onega — one of the rarest mineral deposits on earth. Elite Shungite (also called Noble Shungite) is the highest grade, containing up to 98% carbon, and is distinguished by its bright metallic lustre and irregular, nugget-like form. Long associated with grounding and protection, and with the root chakra (Muladhara). It is chosen in its raw, unpolished form so the stone’s natural character and metallic surface are fully preserved. No mystical claims. Just a genuinely rare and beautiful mineral with a meaning that fits real life.

How This Handmade Shungite Ring Is Made
Each raw elite shungite ring is made to order in my small Santa Fe studio. I hand-select every nugget for its metallic lustre and natural form, then encase it in copper using traditional electroforming techniques. Copper grows directly around the stone through an electrical process, following every surface of the raw shungite exactly. No mass production, no shortcuts. Every handmade ring from this studio is one of a kind.

Care
Remove before swimming, showering, or applying lotions. Store dry. Shungite is relatively durable — the copper is the part to protect. Let the antique patina deepen naturally with wear, or polish gently with a soft cloth to brighten.
