Grahamite Group
The Grahamite Group is a collection of minerals primarily composed of carbon and is known for its unique properties. These minerals are often found in metamorphic rocks and are characterized by their layered structure, which can resemble that of graphite. The group includes various forms of carbon-rich materials that are significant in both geological studies and industrial applications.
Members of the Grahamite Group are typically used in various industries, including electronics and lubricants, due to their excellent conductivity and lubricating properties. Their formation is often associated with high-pressure and high-temperature conditions, making them important for understanding geological processes. The study of these minerals contributes to our knowledge of metamorphic rocks and the Earth's crust.
