Graphite
The soft, layered form of carbon in every pencil — and cousin to graphene
← Allotrope of Carbon
The same carbon as diamond, but arranged in flat sheets so slippery it writes on paper.
A crystalline allotrope of Carbon (space group P 6/m m m), sourced from the Crystallography Open Database (COD 9014004).
