Best Answer

The texture of coal is a 'hard, shiny, black rock.

However, the 'hardness' and the 'shininess' can vary depending on the impurities present. However, it is always black.

The texture of coal can vary from

Peat, )A black wet earth) coal in its early stages of formation. (Burns/combusts with a lot of smoke)

Then Lignite ; a soft black rock, with no wetness. ( burns/combusts with less smoke).

Then coal as described above ( burns/combusts with a hot bright flame, dependent on the amount of oxygen draught present).

Finally Anthracite ; hard and shiny ( Sometimes known as 'Black Diamond'( burns/combusts with a hot bright bluish flame, dependent on the amount of oxygen draught present).,
