Schungite with quartz, also called Maksovskij schungite, belongs to the various types of schungite from Karelia. Maksovskij is the name of the mine where this special stone with a high quartz content is mined. It is not far from the site of classical and precious schungite. The above-mentioned manifestations of Karelian schungite are a worldwide unique occurrence of the schungite mineral in its best quality.


Maksovsky schungite possesses all the positive characteristics of the schungite mineral, but looks particularly attractive, because interesting patterns can be seen on the surface due to the many quartz inclusions. Although the stone has a high quartz content, it is permeable to electricity. This is an important characteristic for the authenticity of schungite.


Especially due to the numerous inclusions of quartz, Maksovsky schungite has a strong energy. In radiation protection, the quartz ensures that the harmonisation is felt particularly distinctly. The radius of action of the protective objects is similar to that of classical schungite, but the harmonisation is more stable and less susceptible to external stress.

Although the objects made of Maksovsky schungite are not polished, they are not suitable for water treatment. The high concentration of quartz leads to intensive oxidation processes in the water, whereby orange spots (rust stains) become visible on the surface of the mineral. Therefore, we recommend precious and classic schungite from the Zazhoginskij mine for water treatment.

Why is schungite with quartz not available polished?


If one were to polish Maksovsky schungite, the schungite powder used would cover the quartz areas. The quartz would then hardly be noticeable and the special charm of the visible quartz inclusions would be lost. In addition, the areas with quartz have a higher hardness than schungite, so the polished surface would be uneven. Therefore, we offer Schungite with quartz only polished, to present our customers the special beauty of this mineral in combination with its protective properties.
