Alpha or hexagonal graphite has its graphene layers stacked so that the first A layer is located precisely above the 3rd A layer and the second B layer above the fourth B. This crystal structure is repeated indefinitely.
Indigo Instruments has maintained a substantial inventory of genuine Cochranes of Oxford (Orbit) parts for 30+ years and are compatible with every molecular model kit we have sold. This level of quality may appear expensive but no parts support from other vendors costs even more.
The interlayer bonds are flexible to allow the layers to move showing the weak van der Waals attraction which is a basic property of graphite.
