It has been used traditionally for water purification and has gained popularity for its EMF shielding properties more recently. Care should be taken in using Shungite for water purification as it needs to be a cleansed version of Shungite and a specific process in order to avoid the unintended consequence of introducing heavy metals.
For EMF and other protection, it is not recommended to have electronics in contact with the body long term. Cellphones in pockets or computers held directly on your lap for long periods are discouraged. Shungite can help decrease those exposures by absorbing a portion of the waves. It can be adhered to electronics (cellphones, tablets and laptops), worn on the body (bracelets and pendants) or
