Graphite deposits occur in three forms: flake graphite, vein graphite, and amorphous graphite. Landis (1971) tentatively concluded that graphite formation is primarily dependent on metamorphic temperature and forms above 400°C, with pressure and variation in starting material constituting secondary controls.The Coosa graphite deposits are flake graphite deposits in high grade metamorphic rocks. They are associated with anomalous vanadium, including the vanadium-mica roscoellite, and nickel, as well as other elements.Geological mapping of the Coosa resource grid was carried out by Alabama Graphite geologists based on stream sections, road cuts, drill pads, and trenches. The main graphite schist trends northeast and to the south changes to north-south, and joins with another unit of graphite schist to the east. There is garnet schist on the east side of the graphite schist, which dies out to the south. These features may be interpreted as an anticline plunging at a low angle to the south with a core of garnet schist overlain structurally by graphite schist. The graphite schist is underlain structurally on the west side by quartz-muscovite-biotite-graphite schist.
