Best Answer

We know that graphite is a natural mineral and it is an allotrope of the element carbon. It's similar to diamond, which is a natural mineral that is also an allotrope of the element carbon. It may not be correct to say that graphite is a native element, but it is really a naturally occurring mineral that is composed of the element carbon.
