Bitumen is a thick, black, viscous substance that resembles tar and has a glossy, oily appearance. It is typically sticky to the touch and can vary in consistency from semi-solid to liquid, depending on temperature. When cooled, it can harden into a solid form. Its dark color is due to the high concentration of carbon-based compounds.
