Thank goodness Rockstar , I was giving up .
You are correct , they are different things .

"To the untrained eye a piece of amorphousgraphite simply looks amorphous”, like a lump of anthracite coal. However, itis much denser than anthracite, 2.2g/cc vs. 1.7g/cc, and is soft andlubricious. A much better descriptive term for this substance would be “microcrystallinegraphite” or “cryptocrystalline graphite”. Both of these geological terms areused to describe a mineral which is composed of crystals so small that theycannot be resolved with either the naked eye or through standard opticalmicroscopy techniques.
A good analogy to more common mineralspecie would be the microcrystalline form of quartz known as chert. Amorphousgraphite is to flake graphite and vein graphite as chert is to crystal quartz. "In simpler words for you , a Penis and a Clitorus have some similarities , but they are DIFFERENT .
It's not about the size , it the nature of its origins and its crystalline structure .
Amorphous graphite is the least “graphitic”of the natural graphite types. The macroscopic morphology of this graphitevariety is called “massive” which is indicative of its homogeneous nonstratified, microcrystalline structure. The long range order common tocrystalline substances is minimal in this graphite variety. Crystallinity ispoor as is indicated by the fact that none of the common crystal forms (crystalfaces) visible in flake and vein graphite are visible in amorphous graphite.Based on “degree of graphitization” as determined by X-ray diffraction studies,amorphous graphite typically shows “graphite content” of 20-40 percent ascompared to 90+ percent for other natural graphite types.
Amorphousgraphite tends to be much less reflective in both large a small grained sizes.Therefore, it has a darker color, bordering on black, while other naturalgraphite has a color closer to “silver-gray”.So , has MLS used the term Amorphous anywhere ?Is the graphitic content of our graphite in the range 20-40% or 90% + ?
I look forward to your consideration of the above documentation .
That's all from me .
