Like diamonds, graphite is what's known as an allotrope of carbon. That means it is actually carbon, although it ocurs in a different form in nature. Graphite occurs naturally as an ore; it is considered by some to be a high form of coal, although this reference is uncommon as graphite is hard to light and makes a poor fuel source.
