Shungite is a black, lustrous, non-crystalline mineraloid consisting of more than 98 weight per cent of carbon. It is approx. 2 billion years old.
It contains trace amounts of Buckminster Fullerenes (C60) (Buckyballs) (0.0001 < 0.001%).
Fullerenes are carbon molecules that have formed into hollow, globular molecules.
This stone has been a folk medical treatment since the early 18th century.
