An invitation, in the author's voice.
I have been working with this rock, every day, for the last five years.
I drink the water it makes in the morning. I wear a piece of it against my chest day and night. I have built a small set of tools out of it for my home, my pets, and my own body, and over those years I have watched what happens, to me, to the animals in my house, and to people who walked into my life skeptical and walked out using it without being asked to.
What I want to do here is name the question I have been asked more times than any other in those five years.
Is it magic, or is it science?
The answer is both. And the person walking you through how those two answers come to coexist has one foot in each world. I have a heavy medical, pharmacological, and physical-science background, the kind that teaches you to distrust anything you cannot measure. I also have an eye into the metaphysical, into the part of human experience the disciplines we have do not yet fully describe.
The object is a black rock from a place in Russia almost no one outside that place has heard of. It does measurable, instrumented, peer-reviewed things to physiology. It also does things that do not yet fit cleanly inside the disciplines we have to describe them.
I have tried, on every page that follows, to honor both.
Gary Fong
In 2018, a constellation of EMF-driven symptoms led Gary Fong to a small black rock from a remote forest in Russia. He has spent the years since building the protocols, testing apparatus, and verification chain that make up the second half of this book.
He was trained at UCLA School of Medicine in radiology and nuclear medicine, and at the University of California in pharmacology — the kind of education that teaches you to distrust anything you cannot measure.
He has spent his adult life attending to synchronicities. A chance Life magazine article once redirected him out of pre-medical school and into a twenty-year career as a celebrated photographer. A quieter constellation of them later led him to Karelia, and to the stone.
He founded Verified Shungite — the source-to-delivery verification chain behind this book — out of frustration with a market flooded by counterfeits. Glass cut to look real. Black-painted plastic. Other carbons sold under the name. Every fake transaction does two kinds of harm: the buyer gets nothing, and the world walks away thinking shungite does not work. He started Verified Shungite to protect both.
