Disseminated graphite mineralization from the "Aracoiaba" region is associated to impure marbles and gneisses rich in Al, in metamorphic soils of granulite facies. The paleoenvironment was favorable to the accumulation and preservation of organic materials forming a large metasedimentar belt of granulite facies, cut by igneous rocks. Such features are equivalent to those of the Canadian deposits of Lac Knife, Asbury Graphite and Peerless British, described by Simandl & Kennan in 1997.
