As has been pointed out to me SEVERAL times off-list, mostly kindly: no one
claimed that graphite or diamond are carbonate minerals, but burning them
will produce CO2 (so does burning WOOD, I might add!).
So, as they used to say in catholic school "idle minds are the devils
workshop".
Mine was both. Mea culpa...
