Graphite
The soft, layered form of carbon in every pencil — and a cousin of diamond
← Allotrope of Carbon
The same element as diamond, but arranged in flat sheets so slippery it writes on paper.
A crystalline allotrope of Carbon (space group R -3 m :R), sourced from the Crystallography Open Database (COD 9012705).
