Characteristics	Appearance	SEM
Carbon (LOI): 80 - 99% Grain Size Distribution: Varies upon grade	Crystalline flake graphite can be recognized by its high metallic sheen, and plate like particle morphology. It is formed in metamorphic rock, in concentrations of 5 - 12% of the ore body. This is the most widely available crystalline form of natural graphite.

Characteristics	Appearance	SEM
Carbon (LOI): 98.0 - 99.7% Grain Size Distribution: Varies upon grade	Synthetic Graphite, sometimes referred to as artificial graphite, is the by-product of graphite electrode manufacturing.  It has a dark gray to black, flat appearance.  Manufactured from calcined petroleum cokes, and graphitized at temperatures above 2700 deg Celsius, these materials offer high purity, excellent lubrication, and electrical conductivity.
