Abstract
Cliftonite was described by Sir Lazarus Fletcher in 1887 as ‘a cubic form of graphitic carbon’. He put forward reasons for regarding it as a new allotropic modification of carbon and other reasons suggesting that it is a pseudomorph of graphite after some cubic mineral, perhaps diamond, but did not definitely favour either view. On the evidence available hitherto, both suggestions were clearly possible.Keywords
