Neither granite nor lead is typically used in pencils. Pencils contain graphite, a form of carbon, in the center core that is used for writing or drawing. The outer casing of a pencil is usually made of wood or a synthetic material.
Pencils switched from using actual lead to graphite in the 16th century, when it was discovered that graphite was a more suitable material for writing due to its softer and darker marks than lead. This change occurred in England around 1564.
Graphite pencils typically have a matte finish, while lead pencils have a shiny appearance. Additionally, graphite pencils produce darker markings compared to lead pencils of the same grade.
Pencils are useful for writing, drawing, and sketching because they are versatile, easy to use, and have a soft lead that makes it easy to correct mistakes. They are also portable and do not require sharpening.
Mechanical pencils, like the regular kind of pencils, use graphite.
