Review: Gag gift for someone who didn't believe that coal was real... - I remember my grandmother's house, where there was a coal chute to deliver coal to the basement. My nephew, not so much. He thought getting coal in his stocking was a joke! So I purchased this, to turn the joke back on him. This particular item is a decent size - 3" - so it feels like a nugget. I looked at other items that were tiny, to fit in a little sample cup in a mineral collection. If that's what you want, buy that. For my purposes, the 3" nugget was perfect. How we forget - coal-fired stoves weren't all that long ago, were they?
Review: Very Nice Quality and Value! - Received a beautiful and very big piece!

*by M***C on November 1, 2024*

They’re really nice chunks of coal! I was expecting just some small shards but there’s a nice selection of sizes. Would be fun for the Christmas stockings gag. I was going to use them in an electric English fire stove but it didn't work out.
