Shungit - natural cleaner of water. This stone is capable to make it really clean and curative. Here only to find real shungit rather difficult - around inconceivable quantity of the fakes which are not bearing advantage at all. How to distinguish real shungit?
Instruction
1. Shungit is divided into high-carbon and low-carbon. Curative properties only the first has. Often instead of the shungit sell to you shungizit - too low-carbon breed. Externally it is very similar to curative shungit, and here it has no useful properties. Though it costs cheaper. Low price has to guard too.
2. There are visual differences of the shungit from fakes. Real shungit breaks easier. Of course, to check thus hardly will come to someone to mind. Still original mineral, unlike a fake, rather strongly raises dust. In the course of transportation the stones inevitably rub the friend about the friend that leads to attrition. Because of fragility shungit usually do not polish. A surface at a stone most often opaque. If the pebble is processed in the form of a pyramid, hardly you will see ideally peaked pyramid. It will resemble the Egyptian more likely. Though, of course, these signs are quite conditional.
3. The most important criterion - conductivity. To find this quality, it is necessary to take the ordinary battery, two wires and a bulb from the pocket torch. It is necessary to connect a bulb and the battery consistently, to put conductings to mineral. If the bulb lights up, means before you real shungit. This simple experiment really gives an authenticity guarantee.
4. There are differences and when lowering the shungit in water. When using the real stone on its surface in the first hours of stay in water the set of bubbles appears. The taste of water changes. On some pebbles it is possible to see streaks of golden color. These are iron sulfate impregnations - too sign of naturalness. However because of it stones in water can rust. They need to be taken out. That the rzhaveniye did not occur, pebbles need to be taken out and dried periodically.
