Graphite, Ceylon, Sri Lanka
Graphite is a naturally occurring mineral with a unique atomic structure that makes it an excellent conductor of heat and electricity. It is composed of layers of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, which gives it its distinctive gray-black color and slippery texture. Graphite is used in a variety of industrial applications, including as a lubricant, electrode material, and in the production of batteries and fuel cells. It is also used in the creation of high-strength composites for use in the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as in the production of writing implements such as pencils. Graphite is a highly versatile material that offers a range of properties that make it an essential component in many modern technologies.
