Shungites have been studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Two types of carbon layers have been revealed in shungites by HRTEM. The first type, graphite-like carbon layers are characterized by strongly marked hexagonal symmetry. The second type are remarkable for imperfections connected with insignificant disorder in the direction of fringes and the distance between them, and can result from point defects or the pentagonal and heptagonal carbon rings that are signs of fullerene-like structures.

I was suggested this website by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as no one else know such detailed about my trouble. You are wonderful! Thanks!
