By means of optical microscope, field emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and laser Raman spectroscopy, the mineralogical characteristics of cryptocrystalline graphite in Yantongshan, Jilin Province and its indication significance for the genesis of the deposit are studied. The diameter of graphite microcrystals is La=59?175 nm, and the stacking height is Lc=32?93 nm. The graphitization degree value ranges from 0.573 to 1.000, and the interval (002) layers vary from 0.3352 to 0.3370 nm. The intensity ratio of D1 peak and G peak arranges between 0.07 to 0.28. On the base above, the metamorphic temperature range was calculated as 526℃ to 622℃, with the average is 561℃, indicating that the metamorphic degree could reach the amphibolite facies in its formation. The graphitization degree varied greatly, and much higher near Fe bearing minerals, indicating that the crystallization process of graphite could be catalyzed with the different spots of one graphite ore slice by Fe containing compounds.
