Stage 1

The Birth of Graphite: The "graphite pencil stick" at this time is still in its original stage of merely writing.

In 1564, a place called Barlowale in England, people found a black mineral - graphite. Soon, some local shepherds found that they could paint on the sheep with graphite. Inspired by this, people cut pieces of graphite into strips to write and paint. However, graphite strips can easily stain hands and break easily. In 1761, the German chemist Faber solved the problem: he grinds the graphite ores into a powder, rinsing the impurities with water to obtain pure graphite powder, and then adding sulfur, antimony, rosin and the like to the graphite powder Material; and then the mixture is heated and solidified, and pressed into a pen shape, which is the earliest prototype pencil.
