Ancient Indian yogis, and practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine, on understanding several potent qualities of Shilajit, had attributed divine powers to Shilajit.  In essence Shilajit is a natural concentrate of plants of the regions of the Himalayas, and is found in the Himalayan ranges in India, Nepal, Pakistan, China, Tibet, and part of Central Asia and Scandinavia.  The flora of the Himalayas is rich and varied, and for thousands of years the plants have come to life, absorbed nutrients from the soil, and then died out.  This is a process which has been repeated again and again countless time, and continued from millennia.  It is believed that Shilajit found in the Himalayas are the fossilized form of those plants and the particular biosphere of the Himalayas created them and bestowed medicinal qualities to them.  Shilajit, found in the higher altitudes of the Himalayas, are sometimes spotted and collected from the crannies of rocks, and similar place.  Shilajit so collected are processed by several drug manufactures and presented in capsule form from human consumption.
