Extract

In a previous paper, published in 1887, the author described some remarkable crystals of graphitic carbon (Cliftonite) obtained from the meteoric iron of Youndegin, Western Australia; the isolated material weighed only 3 milligrams, and had been left as an insoluble residue after the treatment of 8.32 grams of the iron with aqua regia.
