shungite Min.|ˈʃʊŋgaɪt| Also schungite. [ad. G. schungit (A. von Inostranzeff 1886, in Neues Jahrb. für Mineral. i. 92), f. Schunga (Russ. Shunga), name of a village in Russia close to the Finnish border: see -ite1.] (See quot. 1972.)
1892E. S. Dana Dana's Syst. Min. (ed. 6) 8 Schungite from the Olonets Government, Russia, is a similar amorphous form of carbon intermediate between anthracite and graphite, occurring in phyllite. 1916Trans. & Proc. Geol. Soc. S. Africa XVIII. 130 Schungite and graphitoid merge into graphite, but the difference is not crystalline merely, for the latter yields graphitic acid on oxidation, while the former do not. 1941Compt. Rend. (Doklady) de l'Acad. des Sci. de l'URSS XXXIII. 358 Other authors arrived at an opposite conclusion, to the effect that the crystalline phase existing in anthracite and shungite is graphite, but..in a highly dispersed state. 1946Mineral. Abstr. IX. 202 Eleven analyses of shungite from Shunga, Lake Onega, and other localities in eastern Karelia show C 46–99, ash 1–46, V2O5 0·016–0·77%, &c. 1968Ibid. XIX. 102/1 The use of schungite to obtain combustible gases. 1972Gloss. Geol. (Amer. Geol. Inst.) 656/2 Shungite, a hard, black, amorphous, coal-like material containing over 98% carbon, found interbedded among Precambrian schists. It is probably the metamorphic equivalent of bitumen, but it may represent merely impure graphite. |
