Graphite is a dark gray to black, very soft, shiny metallic mineral with a distinctive greasy feeling. One of the Earthâs softest minerals, graphite will easily leave marks on paper, which is why it is used for fine artist pencils. Even modern pencil âleadâ is composed of graphite mixed with clay.
Description: Pure graphite is a mineral form of the element carbon (element #6, symbol C). It forms as veins and disseminations in metamorphic rocks as the result of the metamorphism of organic material included in limestone deposits.
