[Rockhounds] Large massive graphite nodules- AD

[Tim Fisher]

Someone recently posted a graphite nodule to a Facebook group and wanted to
know if it was "carbonized diamond" <rolls eyes>. I couldn't tell if it was
natural or not.

Sell them on eBay as "Do It Yourself Diamond Kit".

Some years ago, a friend who worked in a graphite mill traded me several
unusual very large lumps of native graphite from Sri Lanka. I recently found
these again in the "lost caverns" of my basement, and can offer them as
unique "crystalline" mineral display items.
These are vein/nodule type Carbon masses, very pure, and very old, having
been formed in ancient rocks under intense pressure and temperature for a
long time. They were hand-extracted from what is probably the only place in
the world they are found in such size and purity, old Ceylon.  I have 3
pieces, 4X4X14, 5X7X9, and 4X13X20 cm in size, the largest weighing 2.4
pounds. They are VERY dirty, and will instantly grease up anything they
touch. I can send photos to anyone interested. I am asking $40 ea. for the
smaller ones, and $50 for the large one. Free shipping in the US.
