The crystal structure of polyhedral graphite particles (“G balls”) has been investigated under pressure up to 43 GPa and at room temperature by x-ray powder diffraction measurements. The polyhedra maintain the graphite phase under pressure higher than 40 GPa. A 29% compression in volume at 43 GPa involves an unusual decrease in the interlayer distance of 25%. The polyhedra recover their original crystal structure by releasing the pressure. A closed and solid structure of the polyhedra, suppressing a transition into another phase, causes them to become metallic under pressures higher than 20 GPa.
