“Dimensions: 1.5" x 1" x .5" Small slab of bituminous coal (while shiny it is quite soft, thus bituminous and not anthracite). A relatively thin seam of bituminous coal can be found in Licking County, Ohio. Not economically viable to mine. Collected from the Licking River behind the Velvet Ice Cream factory. The location is a 30 minute drive from the more famous Flint Ridge area. As a river find, the specimen could have been washed down from somewhere upstream. July 2010.”
