What is Graphite?
Graphite is pure carbon — the same element as diamond, but arranged in sheets that slide over each other. It is so soft it marks paper, which is why it is used in pencils.
Odisha and Jharkhand are India's main graphite regions.
Care & cleaning
A softer stone — wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh chemicals and knocks, and store separately from harder crystals.
