As best I recall last I looked into this, a shungit
is a deposit rich in carbon, no CV3 designation can be made. I also do not
recall any fullerine content in Shungit material which would lend to supporting
an extraterrestrial origin. I sell Anthraxolite from the Sudbury Astrobleme
which is another carbon deposit material but it does contain fullerines and is
found in a depressed area of the astrobleme suggesting the likelihood of
meteoritic origin...the vaporized impactor settling and running with the ground
water to areas of greater concentration (eg. deposits). Photos available
here:
