Graphite is a naturally-occurring form of crystalline carbon. It is a native element mineral found in metamorphic and igneous rocks. Graphite is a mineral of extremes.It is extremely soft, cleaves with very light pressure and has a very low specific gravity.hat remains is a nearly pure carbon material that crystallizes into mineral graphite. This graphite occurs in seams that correspond to the original layer of coal. When mined the material is known as amorphous graphite. The word amorphous is actually incorrect in this usage as it does have a crystalline structure.
O Captain! My Captain! Written on the occasion Abraham Lincolnâs assassination, âO Captain! My Captain!â was first published in the New York Saturday Press (November 1865) and was later included, along with âWhen Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomâd,â in a group of poems titled âSequelâ to Drum Taps (1865).
If there is, and someone willing to post it on a public site like this has access to it, Iâd love to see it. I have the original audio tape of âWhat the Captain Really Meansâ (along with the equally funny âSharkbait 21â). WTCRMs was taped in a crew room by a group of USAF pilots in Vietnam around 1967, with the sound of jets taking off sometimes obscuring the words in the background.
