I have never tried Shungite before, but I read about it, and decided to give this pendant a try, before investing in the shungite and soapstone harmonizing stones.
I received my necklace late last night. At first, when I saw the package, I didn't think there was anything in it. It felt empty. I opened it, and the shungite pendant was in there, with the string, in a little plastic package. My first reaction was to give it 4 Stars, because of the flimsiness of the string. It is strong enough to hold the stone, but it is so stiff. Its not at all pretty. And you have to tie it in the back to wear it. So I immediately put it on. I wondered if it would do anything for the persistent pain that Ive been having in the back of my neck, due to sitting at a computer all day.... I didn't notice any difference. I took it off to go to sleep, and put it back on this morning. I went about my usual day, and suddenly, mid-morning, I noticed something unusual: NO NECK PAIN.
My husband says its a placebo effect, but I don't know.... I plan to continue wearing it.... I believe it did work. So now I want to get the shungite and soapstone harmonizers too. Theres no end to my spending.... sigh.... but if it works, its worth it, right? I definitely give this 5 stars, flimsy string or not.
