1985!!!
Carbon rank
19th in the

Carbon’s 1st Allotropic Form
Graphite is one of the softest known materials while diamond is one of the hardest! Carbon, as a microscope diamonds, is found
in some meteorites. Natural diamonds are found in ancient volcanic “pipes” such as found
in South Africa.

Carbon’s 2nd Allotropic Form
Amorphous is formed out of carbonization of organic and fossil matter buried deep into the earth under high pressure with
very limited supply of air. For example: coal it is common variety is
bituminous which is like hard stone and burns with smoky flame.

Carbon 3rd Allotropic Form
Diamond is the ultimate gemstone, having few weaknesses and many strengths. I is the hardest substance found in nature, but few people realize that Diamond is four times harder than the next
hardest natural mineral, corundum (sapphire and ruby).

Carbon’s 4th Allotropic Form!
Ceraphite also known as White Carbon was produced in 1969. It is a transparent material that can split a single beam of light into two beams, a property known as birefringence.
White carbon is used to help rubber materials keep elasticity after you’ve
stretched them for many years.
