 The graphite used in pencils is a natural substance and varies in its characteristics; deposits that have the characteristics that make good pencils are rare. In 1847 a major discovery of high-quality graphite was made in [[Siberia]], and the region became famous. The association of the best pencils with [[Oriental]] graphite explains both the traditional [[yellow]] color and the name of the Mongol pencil company.
