The body centered tetragonal carbon lattice is hypothesized to form when diamond is compressed under high temperature and pressure; only$12.95. Another allotrope, BCC carbon is referred to as carbon sodalite which is similar in form to a zeolite structure by that name.
The body centered tetragonal structure shown is a recent discovery of another carbon allotrope. This material may even occur naturally on an exo-planet, Cancri e, some 40 light years from Earth.

Note the contents of the kit allows you to build the model as shown in the 4 views below. The larger model shown above requires mulitple sets to produce.
Currently this model comes with flexible white bonds, not clear bonds.
