I want the Titanic coal sample with the certificate of authenticity. If you had it dated, I'm sure it would show it comes from the time of the Titan... Oh wait a minute there :wacko: :doh: .

Here are pictures of one of the types of Bituminous that I have here. This is the one that is very volatile.
These two photos were taken in my kitchen, under flourescent lights.

I've gotten the bag of Palmer's coal chocolates in my Christmas stocking before. It's is pretty good. Kinda like Nestlé's Crunch bars.
