Apparently this GLORIOUS rock doesn't exist in the game yet.

[A_Curious_Cat]

Let’s see...

Anti-bacterial properties (What in Armok’s Beard _are_ “Bacteria”?)

Water filtration (We got screw pumps for that, ya know!)

Pigment (Bah! Just go and get yerself some sliver barb!)

Insulation (why would I have need fer somethin’ I ne’er e’en heard’ve?!!!)

Damn, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a decent drink (long time since I’ve had a good meal either)!
Now I need to get back ta’ pullin’ levers.  One of these buggers has got ta’ be the one ta’ unlock the door so I can go down ta’ the residential district and drain meself a bloodbag!

Hmm, you learn something new every day. Shungite. I guess the game steers away from real-geographical location coined references but since it sounds plausable as it is maybe it'd be fine to get away with it. We have Kaolinite after all.

Anti-bacterial properties

Also a property shared between silver, which to say perhaps if water is collected and deposited into a silver metal barrel/shungite pot, it will not eventually over time become stagnant if left alone unlike alcohol. But that's a feature that doesn't exist but feasibly be introduced.

Water filtration (We got screw pumps for that, ya know!)

Maybe a layer of Shungite designated as a aquifer could sanitize salt-water natively, since coastal areas and saltwater swamps are very common for having sedimentary rocks where Shungite occurs.

Materially
Shungite is brittle stone, so has a lot in common with obsidian's kind of native strength to snap besides sharpness and occurs in sedimentary rocks in 'clasts' like other stones within their non-mineral 'veins' like kimberlite within igneous layers.

Pigment (Bah! Just go and get yerself some sliver barb!)

Silver barb can easily be regrown though if your fortress lays within a appropriate evil biome, depending on the amount of imported or native Shungite it'd be a limited commodity for the desirable color.

All and all a good suggestion.

Neither of these things would work in real life, I'm afraid.

I would suggest religious uses.
