Its texture is smooth, mostly glossy to somewhat dull, a soft coal. Once mined, it can easily break apart.


Bituminous Coal exists in the geological area known as The Pittsburgh Coal Seam-- an area extending from Western Pennsylvania, Western West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. Though mined since the days of Native American Indians, and heavily mined since 1800, it is estimated there is still enough coal in this large seam to last millions of years.
