Description

English: Diamond and graphite shown side by side, for illustrating carbon. Scale is based on a rough approximation.

Diamond

Locality: South Africa

Size: 1.31 carats: 7 x 6 x 6 mm

A truly exquisite, super sharp, octahedral crystal of superior quality for a specimen. It is certainly facetable, too.

Graphite

Locality: El Cochi, Sonora, Mexico

Size: thumbnail, 2.5 x 2.4 x 1.2 cm

This is a crudely crystallized graphite, colored battleship gray with a resinous luster. I must admit that it is hard to think of this having the the composition, carbon, as diamond. Anyways, a neat locality piece!
