Graphite is the most stable modification of carbon. It is of silvery-grey to grey to black colour, often with a metal shine. We find the carbon atoms in layers in their crystal grid. This typical thin-plated structure is shown on the REM photograph of flake graphite at the right hand side of this page. Graphite has got a combination of very special material properties based on its crystal structure which are widely used in many applications of graphite.
