Summary
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond" class="extiw" title="w:Diamond">Diamond</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/graphite" class="extiw" title="w:graphite">graphite</a> shown side by side, for illustrating <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/carbon" class="extiw" title="w:carbon">carbon</a>. 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!
