How to use shungite in a well?
1. If there are questions - call. We will make a calculation of the required amount of shungite.
2. Buy shungite for the well and give a convenient time for delivery.
3. If you know the volume of water in the well, safely load a minimum of 50-70 kg per 1000 liters.
4. Before use - flush the dust stones.
5. Before loading stones on the bottom of the well, we recommend installing an aspen bottom filter.
6. Replace stones after 3 years of use.
7. We recommend holding the stones in the net so that it is possible to pull out and rinse the surface of the stones in running water. Washing stones is recommended 2 times a year if the well is year-round and 1 time if you only use the well in summer.
We have special stone sizes for wells.

What I need to choose for personal protection?
Because you would not take big stone in your bag so we recommend to combine several small items together. Something like pendant+bracelet+keychai or elite stone in a bag+earrings+necklace
What do you recommend for home protection?
With shungite size is matters, so the bigger size the better protection. Shungite is like a magnet for EMF fields, it is close them inside, so small product will be too weak to help with them. Better to choose products 10cm, 15cm and more for home. Some customers make home design with tiles near TV zone or on the kitchen near microwave zone. I put pictures to this letter. You need to put shungite near any electric sources, such like router, TV or computer.
Garden.
The same thing, small pyramid do not help you with EMF around home, you need to think about big sizes - 15cm and more. Or tiles decoration for house.If you have flowers or trees who are ill you can washed them with shungite powder 0,25mm and it can helps them. Shungite kills pathogenic bacteria.
How to prepare shungite water?
Step 1.
Buy Shungite stones. There are 3 different groups 1-3gr., 3-5gr., or 1-5gr together and 5-20gr.
Step 2.
Rinse the stones in the water. After that boil them for 10-15min. You don`t need Shungite dust.
Step 3.
Take 200gr. Shungite stones of the group 1-5gr. (1-3gr., 1-5gr.) by liter of the water. And if you have bought the group 5-20gr, take 400gr. by liter.
Step 4.
Wait at least 24 hours. But it would be better if you can wait 2 days (24 hours). You shouldn’t wait more than 3 days (72 hours), there is no point. So, you must wait 1-3 days.
Step 5.
At the end you need to pour the clean water in another container. Now you can drink the water! The water is ready to use!
You can use elite stones for 10-12 months, regular shungite 5-6monthsAfter you need to change them.
How long I can use Elite stones for water? And regular stones too?
You need to change Elite stones after 10-12 months and we recommend to change regular stones every 5 months. Also wash the stones periodically in running water.
It is a fake shungite, it leaves black marks on my skin and clothes! How to clean it?
Shungite is very soft stone, so it is normal thing if it leaves black marks. Some customers check authenticity of the stone this way. We recommend not to wash polished items, because they will lost their shining. But only clear polished product with DRY cloth several times. Unpolished products can be washed without any problems.

What type of shungite is my pyramid made of?
There are three types of shungite:
Type 3 - regular shungite 35-45% carbon content. All pyramids, balls, cubes, beads and chips for water purification are made from this type of shungite. Shungite is a soft stone and can leave black marks; this feature confirms the authenticity of the stone. Polished products must not be wiped with a damp cloth or washed. Wipe with a dry cloth. Unpolished you can rinse to wash off dust from them.
Type 2 - Petrovsky Shungite. It contains 65% -75% carbon. It is used to purify water and jewelry. But this stone is more expensive and also fragile.
Type 1 - ELITE shungite is a very fragile stone-crystal with a carbon content of 95-98%. BEWARE! Elite shungite is not possible to be subjected to any treatment - it is a fragile stone that does not hold its shape. The structure is such that it does not make beads, pyramids and other products. It can be purchased as it is.

My shungite looks like coal!
Although shungite looks similar to coal, it has a few defining characteristics. It is harder than coal, does not burn, is not affected by pressure, and exhibits extraordinary stability. In its raw form, shungite is referred to as a nugget.
