Known for its exceptional 92.1-98% carbon content, superior hardness, and high metallic luster, it surpasses bituminous coal in density and purity. Ideal for scientific, industrial, or collectible uses, this coal embodies both historical significance and unmatched quality. ## Description A hard, compact variety of coal with a high luster, Anthracite is known for having the highest carbon content, fewest impurities and the highest calorific content of all the various types of coal. Each piece measures approximately 1.5 x 1.5 inches. The most metamorphosed type of coal, it features a carbon content of between 92.1-98%. It features three separate grades: standard, which gets used mainly in power generation, while both high grade and ultra high grade are primarily used in the metallurgy sector. It differs from the more ordinary bituminous coal by having a greater hardness, higher relative density, and a luster that is often a semi-metallic with a mildly brown reflection. Anthracite coal also goes by the names black coal, hard coal, and stone coal. Anthracite is possibly best known in United States history when an Athracite vein from an abandoned coal mine that ran beneath the town of Centralia, PA caught fire in 1962. It is still burning as of 2015, and has since turned the town into a virtual ghost town. As of 2013, only 7 people were reported to be still living in the town. At its current rate, it is estimated that the Centralia fire could continue to burn for at least another 250 years.Origin: PA Review: Perfect for science project - Purchased for daughter’s science project. Received several small pieces in a dusty plastic bag. Coal dust cones from coal! Including that because some reviews I read state items received weren’t as “clean” as the picture. It’s coal! Coal is dirty. This was perfect for our needs. Review: It's coal! - It was exactly as advertised. A couple pieces of black anthracite coal. I gave it to myself for Christmas. I was bad that Year. ## Features - Each rock measures approximately 1-2 inches in length - Metamorphosed type of goal - Greater hardness & higher density than bituminous coal - High metallic luster ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B010CCYL8M | | Best Sellers Rank | #401,988 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #199 in Specialty Metal Raw Materials | | Brand | OnlineScienceMall | | Brand Name | OnlineScienceMall | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 65 Reviews | | Item Form | Chunks, Irregular, Lumps, Rock | | Manufacturer | OnlineScienceMall | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5213 | | Material | Rock | | Material Type | Rock | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Unit Count | 2 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** OnlineScienceMall - **Item Form:** Chunks, Irregular, Lumps, Rock - **Material:** Rock - **Number of Packs:** 1 - **Unit Count:** 2 Count ## Images ![Anthracite Coal - 2 Raw Pieces of Rock - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91h5pCCsVSL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this authentic coal? Not a synthetic reproduction? I have seen many seller son here selling "real coal" only to find out its fake.** A: Hi Melissa, I apologize for the delay in response. We had to check with the company that supplies our rock samples, and it took them a bit to get back to us. We just heard back from them a little while ago, and they informed us that these samples are in fact authentic coal, and not a reproduction of any type. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for science project *by T***N on December 10, 2023* Purchased for daughter’s science project. Received several small pieces in a dusty plastic bag. Coal dust cones from coal! Including that because some reviews I read state items received weren’t as “clean” as the picture. It’s coal! Coal is dirty. This was perfect for our needs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's coal! *by M***D on April 2, 2024* It was exactly as advertised. A couple pieces of black anthracite coal. I gave it to myself for Christmas. I was bad that Year. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality and good shipping. Buyer needs to be careful when handling. *by A***R on December 23, 2023* Very satisfied with this product overall, would absolutely recommend this vendor and product. However, coal is not a toy, and has inhalation and other hazards if handled unsafely. The packaging for these coal pieces is a sealed plastic ziploc type bag, which is very good. However, mine had small holes poked where the ridges of the coal were, which I didn't expect when I opened the USPS mailer. I suppose the bag was slightly too small for those pieces. That's problematic because coal dust could have leaked out. I would recommend the seller use a larger bag or double wrap in some way to avoid this. Besides that, the package doesn't include an MSDS, so I found one online from a similar source to include near the item. ## Frequently Bought Together - OnlineScienceMall Anthracite Coal - 2 Raw Pieces of Rock - EISCO Bituminous Coal Specimen (Sedimentary Rock), Approx. 1" (3cm) - EISCO 6PK Raw Anthracite Coal, Metamorphic Rock Specimens - Approx. 1" - Geologist Selected & Hand Processed - Great for Science Classrooms - Class Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/19969323-anthracite-coal-2-raw-pieces-of-rock](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/19969323-anthracite-coal-2-raw-pieces-of-rock) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
