Shungite stone for purifying and mineralising water, water activator. Fraction 10-20 mm.Making mineralised and purified water at home is really very simple.
Tired of drinking chlorinated water full of additives and reagents? Today everyone knows that tap water can contain many impurities unless it is specially purified with filters or other methods.
There really is an alternative way to purify water, enrich it with minerals and change its structure. What can I say – with shungite you get truly clean water! In addition, thanks to its porosity, this stone absorbs and neutralises harmful impurities.
Would you like to have clean water at home every day, fresh and with a mineral composition, like from a spring? Try making it with shungite! It is affordable, easy to use and the benefits of such water are huge!
Making mineralised water without additives at home is really very simple: just buy crushed stone or stone pieces from us, 100 g per litre of water. Rinse the stones and then boil them. The water infused during the first 3 days turns out very concentrated, and we recommend pouring it into a separate container and using it externally, but not drinking it. Then fill the container with the stones with water again. The water is fully ready after three days.
Enjoy shungite water!
ŠUNGIIT Shungite for water purification 5–20 mm, 500 g
ŠUNGIIT Shungite for water purification 5–20 mm, 500 g is a mineral stone used in the home for preparing standing water before use. People usually choose shungite when they want a simple, non-electric way to improve the quality of tap water and reduce the harsh taste often associated with chlorine and other unwanted residues.
Key Characteristics and Use
Shungite is valued for its porous structure and large active surface area. In practice, this means the stone can bind part of the impurities that affect taste and freshness while the contact time with the mineral may also slightly change the character of the water. This is why shungite is often used as a traditional alternative or addition to common household filtration methods.
- Convenient Fraction: The 5–20 mm size is large enough to rinse and handle easily, while still providing good contact with the liquid.
- Natural Material: Shungite is a naturally occurring carbon-rich rock that has long been associated with water preparation in Eastern Europe.
- Low-tech Approach: It works through physical contact between the stone surface and the water left to stand for a period of time, rather than acting like a flavoring additive.
Ideal For
This type of product suits those who want a straightforward option for home water preparation without complicated equipment. It can fit well into a household setup alongside:
- A water jug
- Glass containers
- Other practical storage vessels
Important Considerations
Expectations should stay realistic: shungite is a traditional household material, not a replacement for all modern purification systems in situations where water quality is uncertain.
- Preparation: Before use, follow the preparation instructions carefully.
- Water Safety: If the source water is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality, a mineral stone alone may not be enough.
- Caution: For drinking purposes, extra caution is sensible for infants, pregnant women, and people with specific health concerns.

Customer Questions
Using the 5–20 mm stones is straightforward. First, you must prepare them by thoroughly rinsing under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes any fine mineral dust from packaging. Place the rinsed stones in your container—a glass jug, pitcher, or carafe is ideal—and then fill it with tap water. The specific ratio of water to stone weight isn't defined, but a common practice is to use the entire 500 g bag for 2 to 5 liters of water. The stones work through physical contact, so leave the water to stand at room temperature for a period, typically 6 to 12 hours or overnight. After this contact time, you can pour the water for use, leaving the stones at the bottom. They are meant to be used as a traditional, low-tech preparation method, not as a flavoring additive. Remember to rinse the stones occasionally and let them dry between uses to maintain their condition. If your water source is of uncertain microbiological quality, shungite alone is not a sufficient purification method.
Yes, you can reuse the stones. Their porous structure and large active surface area are meant for repeated contact with water. There is no fixed expiration date; their effective lifespan depends on usage frequency and water quality. With regular use (e.g., daily), a batch may last several months to a year before you might notice a change in their appearance or a reduction in their effect on water taste. To maintain them, rinse the stones under running water every few weeks to remove any accumulated film. Occasionally, you can leave them to air-dry completely. Over a very long period, the stones may become smoother or slightly lighter in color, which is normal wear. Ultimately, they are a natural mineral product and will slowly wear down. When they have significantly diminished in size or you no longer find them effective for your purpose, it's time to replace them. Store unused stones in a dry place.
Shungite is used to reduce the harsh taste often associated with chlorine and other unwanted residues in tap water, making it more palatable for daily drinking and cooking. Through its porous structure, it can bind part of the impurities that affect freshness. You may notice the water tastes softer or less chemical after the recommended contact time. However, it is not a replacement for comprehensive modern filtration systems that remove heavy metals, specific contaminants, or microorganisms. It does not mineralize water in the sense of adding significant quantities of minerals like calcium or magnesium; any change in mineral content would be negligible. Its role is as a simple, non-electric traditional method to improve the sensory qualities of water that is already deemed safe to drink from the tap. For situations where source water quality is uncertain or microbiologically unsafe, a mineral stone alone is not adequate, and you should use a certified purification method.
