Shiny Graphite Ball made from Clay and Graphite (Dorodango)

Описание: A step by step how-to on creating a dorodango with a graphite mirror finish. Compressing a very thin layer of graphite makes it get very reflective. And upon testing, found it had higher conductivity than uncompressed graphite powder, maybe kind of like graphene.
Shout out to my friend, Mike Room, for inspiring this idea.

You can get sand from your local sand and gravel yard, hardware store, wash, or nearest sandbox.

Marble powder or marble dust really helps the process, you can sometimes find it at your local hardware store, but here's a link -

Pure graphite powder is readily available at the local hardware store, you want to make sure it's extra fine and pure graphite.
