What is the pendant made of, and what does shungite look like in jewellery? — Shungite pendant, oval

Shungite is a mineral of dark, almost black colour with a characteristic texture: the surface may be matt or have a slight natural shine, depending on how the particular stone is processed. It is not an artificial material or a dyed stone; the colour and texture are natural.

The oval shape of the pendant was chosen as a versatile one: it does not overload the look and goes well with neutral, everyday clothes. This format suits those looking for an accessory for regular use rather than for special occasions.

The pendant can be worn on a cord or chain. The stone is noticeable to the touch but does not look bulky. This makes it a good choice for people who value natural materials in the details of their look, such as those interested in minerals, mindfulness practices, yoga or meditation.
