Melezhik, Filippov and Romashkin (2004) describe the geology of the giant Palaeoproterozoic shungite deposit in Karelia: how big it is, how it formed, where it sits in the geological column. Foundational paper for anyone trying to understand the source rock itself rather than the wellness claims.

'Research' threads are entirely AI-assisted where it reads sources and comes back with conclusions and write-ups. AI in 2026 is a useful research tool, not yet perfect. Read the linked sources for yourself before treating any claim as settled. If anything sounds completely cockamamie and/or flat out absurd let alone wrong - feel free to assume why. That being said, with shungite, always do your own research. You may be surprised.
