Industrially, it is also regarded as the highest form of coal, above anthracite sometimes even being called ‘meta-anthracite’ However, it is difficult to ignite, and in this sense, has no purpose as a fuel source. However, it has a variety of other industrial use such as in various batteries often used in modern technology including smart phones, tablets and laptops. It is also used in steel production, lining of brakes for cars and motorcycles and of course it’s most famous use is in pencils, replacing natural lead form the 16th century on wards after the poisoning effects of lead (galena) became apparent.
