Schists are a group of minerals that are characterized by having plate-like crystal structures that slide easily over one another. Common examples are Mica and Graphite.

Graphite is a form of carbon that makes a good lubricant due to its layered structure, which allows for easy sliding between layers. When used as a lubricant, graphite reduces friction between moving parts and provides long-lasting and effective lubrication.
Carbon graphite refers to a composite material made of carbon and graphite, often used in high-performance applications like aerospace. Graphite, on the other hand, is an allotropic form of carbon with a layered structure, known for its lubricating properties and use in pencils and electrical applications.
limestones, cherts, shales, schists, sandstones, and granites
Quartz-beryl pegmatites and also schists.
The correct label for pencil lead is "graphite."
When we talk about schist, we are talking about a very large group of geologic material. It's like asking what the uses of vehicles are. Cars, trucks, planes, boats and even snowmobiles are vehicles, just to name a few. Shist, like vehicles, comes in a variety of "flavors" and has a lot of uses. Let's look at some schists and how we utilize them.
Graphite does not have a transparency.
No, graphite is not renewable.

Graphite is black and posseses dull appearance
