Skaite7 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this is? I found in my yard in Harwich Massachusetts. I just started collecting rocks/minerals/crystals and been coming across this a lot lately. Thank you so much for your time!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcervay Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 I would guess anthracite and bituminous coal. I have a bunch in my yard in NE PA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg L Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Does it feel like charcoal? I recently found something that looks similar in Tewksbury mass. And the best comparison to weight and feel would be charcoal to me but not exactly. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg L Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Here is a pic of the coal I found I think it may have been used as a pigment to highlight features of my "sculptures". Also a piece of graphite? which would serve the same purpose as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
