General comment
Graphite is a crystalline form of the element carbon, consisting of stacked layers of graphene. It is a good conductor of heat and electricity, and can be converted to diamond under high pressures and temperatures. It is extremely soft, cleaves easily, and has a low specific gravity. It is used in metallurgy, manufacturing, and meteoritics. It has a layered structure that consists of rings of six carbon atoms arranged in widely spaced horizontal sheets.
