Shungite mat large 58x85 cm 2.5 kg

The ŠUNGIIT shungite mat is a large 58 × 85 cm sheet weighing about 2.5 kg, filled with small pieces of natural shungite — a rare carbon-rich mineral mined mainly in the Karelia region of north-western Russia. It is designed as a flexible accessory for the home, easy to roll out on a chair, sofa, bed, floor or even on a yoga mat during stretching and meditation.

Shungite is interesting because of its unusual structure: it contains fullerenes, spherical carbon molecules that have attracted scientific attention since the 1990s. In folk tradition this stone has been used for centuries — Peter the Great even built one of Russia's first spas around a shungite spring. Today the mineral is most often chosen by people interested in natural materials, grounding practices and a more mindful approach to the spaces where they rest and work.

The mat works simply through contact. You lie, sit or place your feet on it for 15–30 minutes while reading, watching a film or relaxing after a long day at the desk. Many users describe a pleasant feeling of warmth and calmness during this time. The large format makes it suitable for the back, shoulders, lower spine area or full leg length, so one accessory fits several scenarios — a short pause at the office chair, an evening session on the couch, or a meditation practice on the floor.

Practical notes:

• Place the mat on a firm surface so the shungite pieces distribute evenly under body weight.
• Wipe the outer fabric with a slightly damp cloth when needed; do not machine-wash or soak.
• From time to time air the mat outdoors or in sunlight to refresh the filling.
• Keep away from open flame and sharp objects that could damage the cover.

This is a household and relaxation accessory, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose or cure any illness. If you have a serious health condition, are pregnant, or use a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, please consult your doctor before regular use. Keep out of reach of small children, as the filling consists of small mineral fragments.
