It's made of graphite and clay. Very stable . Archival. Safe. You should sign the back of the print with it.
The only problems are from mechanical friction rubbing pencil lead onto a print where you don't really want a grey smudge...

When I cut overmats for my b&w prints, I end up with pencil-lead marks on the side of the overmat that touches the photographic print.

Does this pencil lead represent any archival danger to the print?
