J.T.s’ Rock Collection

Graphite is made of the element carbon and is frequently found in certain kinds of schists and limestones. It makes flat crystals but is more common in a tiny grain form. Graphite is very soft, hardnest 1-2 on the hardness scale, it feels greasy and will make your fingers turn black. I think graphite is a very beautiful rock and can be used for many things and the name graphite comes from a greek word.
