Fullerenes

It is also the only rock in the world that contains fullerenes, this is a newly discovered form of carbon in the form of spherical ions. In 1996, Professor Robert F. Curl Jr., Professor Sir Harold W. Kroto and Professor Richard E. Smalley received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of fullerenes.
Noble shungite
The difference between noble shungite and ordinary shungite is the carbon, and associated fullerenes, content. If Shungite contains 98% carbon, it is named noble shungite. Edel shungite can be distinguished by the lower specific weight and the silvery luster on the surface. Edel shungite is widely used for water purification. Noble shungite can also conduct electricity, an exceptional property for a rock.
