Graphite ball, in sodalite, York River, near Bancroft, Ontario
A silvery-black sphere, about 0.5 mm across, from a small vein across the river from the famous skarn zone
An interesting and very unusual occurrence, now a park and closed to collecting.

Yeah the photo sucks, sure wish there was a guy that collected graphite, took great photos, and was willing to share 'em, but oh well.
