How heavy it is depends greatly on how much you have and where it is located. On earth, a block of graphite that occupies a liter will weigh between 1.9 to 2.3 kg (well, that is what people would say who don't make a distinction between mass and weight). That same liter block of graphite submerged in water would weigh between 0.9 to 1.3 kg. Did you notice that graphite weighs about twice as much as water?
Let's take that same block into orbit around the earth in a spacecraft where the spacecraft "falling" around the earth would experience "weightlessness". That same block would have negligible weight.
