The element collector has the most choices when it comes to this element. Carbon comes in diamond, graphite, nanotube filaments and the lowly coal briquettes that go into the BBQ. This, the amorphous glassy type is yet another iteration. Nature prepares for us this wonderful to look at specimen as living organic matter decomposes and becomes pressurized over the course of millions of years to strip away nearly everything except the carbon atoms linked together in a giant atomic mishmash.

An undeniably beautiful product, this makes for a compelling collectible as cast into this 5cm Lucite cube.
