Graphite




Used during healing to enhance the energy transfer from a healer to the subject of the healing, excellent in wands, also the stone of personal freedom, providing impetus for one to take charge of ones life.

Graphite is a soft, black form of pure elemental carbon. Chemically, it is the same as diamond, both being isotopes and polymorphs, which given their widely differing properties, is as first, counterintuitive. Graphite can occur as thin flakes or in a massive form, and is often associated with quartz, calcite, tourmaline, and mica; it is sometimes found as nodules inside iron meteorites. In the field it is relatively easily identified, with molybdenite being the most similar mineral — their weights and streaks are entirely different, however, and so confusion should not arise. Graphite is formed by the metamorphosis of carbon bearing materials, especially those of organic origin, such as coal. It has a metallic to dull luster and a gray black streak.
