- Some common examples of polymorphs are calcite and aragonite. The composition of these two minerals is CaCO3, but calcite is rhombohedral while aragonite is orthorhombic. Diamond and graphite , both of which are pure carbon , are also polymorphs. Diamond, however, is cubic while graphite is hexagonal.
