Layer On Top Of Smooth Layer
a: Graphite ~
b: sheets of carbon atoms
What: "Hence graphite is like sheets of carbon atoms that are stacked one over the other; carbon atoms in diamonds form a pyramid-like structure. The flat sheets of the graphite can absorb lights of different wavelengths and hence are opaque and black. The pyramid-like structure found in diamonds lack this ability and is transparent and sparkling."
