Explanation:

Anthracite Coal
This is the best quality of coal and contains over 85 per cent carbon. It is very hard, compact, jet black coal having semi-metallic luster.
Anthracite coal ignites slowly and burns with a nice short blue flame. In India, it is found only in Jammu and Kashmir and that too in small quantity.
