GEM ( has a few diamond pro's on staff ) Said i wasn't going to research graphite anymore but... it seems there's one
more frontier to research (
moissanite ).
MOISSANITE = occures in nature as, silicon carbide.
Carbon imbedded in silicon.
Kind of exciting.
Diamonds are not conductive.
BUT... Moissanite is very conductive.
Have silicon ?
Have carbon or activated carbon ?
= BOOM superb semiconductor for computer chips !
Moissanite could be fabricated with exacting porportions of,
Silica and Carbon ( perferrbly activated )
Keep in mind... silicon valley California started the computer chip era...
Silicon only has a one electron capability and suriunded by 4 oxygen
Oxygen inhibit conductivity hence - only extract silicon metal for chips
but left with 1:1 electron transmission. ( it's junk )
Moissanite
Silica carbonate
Carbon paired with silica developes 4 satelite carbons.
= highly conductive
= supreme electron movement 
In addition, i decided to delve into graphite crystalines.
I was wanting to know if graphite contained silicate platlettes.
Which could interfere with conductivity.
Less silica - more carbon = more conductivity.
Also opened a few extraction papers - removing silicate from graphite.
Didn't reslly find the answers i was searching for.
Instead i stumbled upon, graphite crystaline structures.
They're not crystalline.
They're Crystallites.
Graphite formining graphite crystalites.
Completely different than crystaline.
Which got me thinking, if a graphite deposit was tested for,
Crystallites and confirmed.... it would / could mean removing obvious
impurities would result in... nothing elese to do but mill.
As far as i can tell ( read thus far ) there are no oxygen pairing with
crystallite graphene.
Not Firing in LAB, would be beneficial on grounds of,
fear of adding oxygrn bonds to graphite crystallites thus destroying
the conductivity tests thereafter.
Graphite Crystalllites,
If no silica involvement nor oxygen, just graphite...
graphite at a hexagon nano value - could be a ready made product
as in, use as is. ( of course, test first )
Also....mason's deposit has 12% - 58% silica which could mean,
Berkwood has same or similar values.
Silica can be a - B - to dissolve.
Labs might have weighed the silica percentage BUT might have
overlooked a potential Moissanite ( silica carbon ) mineral.
Especially if silicates are in same deposite as graphite !!!
Check the silicates to see if the silicates harbor graphite or is
classified as, Moissanite. DIAMOND MOISSANITE
| Electric Conductivity | Bad; diamond is an electric insulator. | Very good electric conductor. |
