Why is pencil lead known as lead if it is not really lead?
In ancient Rome, scribes wrote on papyrus (an early form of paper) with a thin metal rod called a stylus. The rod left a light but readable mark. Some early styluses were made of lead, and these were reasonably effective. When pieces of rock from a mineral deposit in England were found to be good for marking sheep, the people presumed it was a lead deposit. Then the pieces were made into the first pencils. Chemists said the deposit was actually graphite, a form of carbon, but 'lead pencils' were so popular that the name is still used to this day.
