Diamagnetic levitation demonstrated with pencil lead

Diamagnetic levitation shown with nothing but a few 3 mm neodymium magnets and a piece of ordinary pencil graphite. It is the most accessible version of the experiment and closes the loop from Faraday's heroic electromagnet to something anyone can do on a desk. 3092x1836.
