pencil lead
Pencil lead, also known as graphite, is the core writing material of the pencil. Despite its name, it actually contains no lead. The pencil lead is a mixture of finely ground graphite and clay powders that is encased within the wood or mechanical pencil structure. The proportion between graphite and clay determines the hardness of the pencil lead, affecting how dark or light the mark it makes on the paper.
