During water purification, positive information is transferred from the stone to the water. It transforms the water into so-called living water.

For this, stones of different sizes are used. Here I explain the advantages and disadvantages of smaller and larger stones so that you can choose the right size for you.

If you want to purify your water with shungite stones, please remember to clean the stones first.  Shungite has quite a long way to go before it reaches you.  Please take your time and rinse the stones well under running water.

There are many ways to use shungite for water purification. The recommendations also differ between precious and classical shungite. Here, however, I would only like to explain the advantages and disadvantages of large and small stones, regardless of the shungite type.

Small stones (approx. 5-30 mm).

Advantages:

Small shungite stones have a practical advantage: they also fit in small vessels. You can put the stones in a water bottle to have shungite water with you when you travel.

Disadvantages:

Smaller shungite stones rub against each other and always produce some abrasion. Even if it is completely harmless, small black particles do not always look attractive.

During the water purification, deposits will settle on the stone surface after some time.  Depending on the water quality, three to eight months pass before the surface needs to be cleaned. Small stones are difficult to brush as they are too small to hold during cleaning. For this reason, they should be replaced after a certain period of use.

Smaller stones have a much larger surface area. However, this is not an advantage in terms of energy water treatment.  An energetically larger stone with a larger unbreakable structure is stronger and can therefore have a more intense effect on the water. Smaller stones are therefore at a disadvantage from this point of view.

Larger stones (approx. 30 mm and more).

Advantages:

Stones must be cleaned mechanically after some time. Larger stones can be easily cleaned with a brush. Smaller stones are too small for this.

Larger stones have a larger unbreakable structure. This has a more intensive effect than the same number of small stones.

Disadvantages:

It is more difficult to find a suitable vessel for a larger stone. Smaller stones have a distinct advantage in this respect.  Moreover, glass containers are best for water purification, although the stones often do not fit in the bottle.

No matter what size stone you choose, it is important that the stone has enough time to transfer information to the water.
