A macro shot of a specimen of anthracite coal.
Anthracite is the hardest form of coal, and has been metamorphized by heat and pressure.
Anthracite is by far the cleanest-burning coal, with the fewest toxic inclusions like mercury and lead, and produces the least carbon monoxide. Thus, it is highly desirable in coal stoves in homes, making it far too expensive for electricity production.
The rock has cleaved in even and uneven lines.
This view shows some of the inclusions and the fracturing.
