Shungite Shungite is found near Shunga, Russia, and is a combination of pyrobitumen/protographite, crystalline silicate, and other minerals. 
Smoky Quartz Smoky quartz has a hexagonal crystal system and is composed of silicon-oxygen tetrahedra. Its "smoky" coloring is due to natural radiation emitted from the surrounding rock which activates color centers around aluminum impurities within the quartz.
Sodalite Sodalite is a tectosilicate mineral composed of chloric sodium aluminum silicate. It is named particularly for its sodium content and is the most common member of the sodalite mineral group. The largest deposit is found in Brazil.
Sphalerite Sphalerite ranges widely in color and has a hardness of 3.5 to 4. It is a zinc sulfide mineral with a tetrahedral and dodecahedral crystal system.
