Cannel coal is brown to black oil shale. It is derived from resins, spores, waxes, and cutinaceous and corky materials of terrestrial vascular plants. Cannel coal was accumulated in ponds and shallow lakes in peat-forming swamps and bogs of the Carboniferous age under oxygen-deficient conditions. Cannel coal typically contains much less fixed carbon than bituminous coal. This example was obtained from the Alexander open cast pit in Wigan, Lancashire. Supplied by weight only with size of pieces being random. These rocks come in a 1 kg polythene bag with a data label.

Anthracite coal specimens, a vitreous, high grade coal with a hard and compact nature, these samples are from the Carboniferous coalfields of South Wales, UK and are one of the coals which have fewer impurities and a high carbon contents. Available in optional sizes, each sample will come supplied in a card tray with a label.
We also supply Anthracite Coal thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

Specimens of Bituminous Coal, collected from the Carboniferous deposits in Yorkshire. Bituminous Coal is an organic sedimentary rock, that forms by diagenetic and sub metamorphic compression of peat bog & swamp material. Its primary constituents are macerals: vitrinite, and liptinite. The carbon content of bituminous coal is around 60-80%. The rest consists of residual water, air, hydrogen, and sulphur. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.

Specimens of Lignite (Brown Coal), collected from Germany. Lignite is a soft, combustible sedimentary rock which forms by the natural compression of peat material. It has a high carbon content 25 – 35% & a moisture content up to 66%. The high volatile matter content makes it easier to convert into gas and liquid petroleum products than higher ranking coals. It is used almost exclusively for the generation of electricity in countries such as Greece & China. These pieces are Miocene in age. They are available in multiple sizes and come in a white card tray with an information label.

Bituminous coal is a soft sedimentary rock with a high organic content & the tar-like substance Bitumen. It is of a lower grade than Anthracite but higher grade than Lignite. Supplied in lots of 1 kg.
Cannel coal by it’s physical morphology and low mineral content is considered to be coal but by its texture & organic matter content it is considered to be oil shale. Although historically the term cannel coal has been used interchangeably.

Microgranite thin section slide exhibiting the medium grained nature of this intrusive igneous rock. The crystals in microgranite are smaller than those of normal granite indicating that it cooled at a quicker rate.

Granite adamellite thin section slide exhibiting crystals of quartz, biotite and feldspar. We collected this material from the famous Shap Fell quarry, in Cumbria hence the rocks alternative name ‘ Shap Granite ‘.

Rhyolite specimens found in Cumbria. Rhyolite is a felsic (silica rich) rock, often formed in highly explosive volcanoes. Specimens are supplied in a polythene bag in lots of 1 kg with a label.
Shap granite igneous rock specimens from Shap Fell, Cumbria, UK which exhibit typical coarse grained crystalline textures expected of intrusive felsic rocks, being composed of quartz, plagioclase and orthoclase feldspar and biotite mica. This popular granite is very sought after for a variety of applications and has a colourful appearance. It is believed to have formed during the early Devonian period as a plutonic intrusion in the area and is quarried extensively. Samples are ideal for collectors of all levels and ages as well as all educational levels as the minerals can be easily described with the origin and processes being suitable to teach higher level students. Samples are available in three sizes and come supplied in a card tray with an information label.

Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass derived from a rapidly cooled high silica lava. Often associated with the margins of Rhyolitic lava flows. It has little or no discernable crystalline structure. Specimens are supplied in a polythene bag in lots of 1 kg with a label.
Pink Granite, rich in potassium feldspars giving the distinctive pink hue, easily identifiable as a granite due to its mineral composition. Specimens come from Scotland and are supplied in a card tray with label.

Specimens of Limestone, collected from Derbyshire. Limestone is a common, well known sedimentary rock. It consists of the calcium-rich shells, bones, and skeletons of the fauna that dominated during that period. It was laid down approximately 350 million years ago in semi tropical seas and comes from the Dinantian epoch of the Lower Carboniferous. This rock is very pure, about 98% soluble in rainwater (over time) leaving only residual clay. Its uses include aggregate, building stone, the manufacture of cement, paper & calcium carbide. Available in various sizes, each piece comes supplied in a white card tray with information label.
