Anthracite (Greek Ανθρακίτης, literally a form of coal, from Anthrax [Άνθραξ], coal) is a hard, compact variety of mineral coal that has a high luster.It has the highest carbon count and contains the fewest impurities of all coals, despite its lower calorific content.. Anthracite coal is the highest of the metamorphic rank, in which the carbon content is between 92% and 98%.

which characterizes the luster in subbituminous and bituminous coals is lacking, and the identification of vitrain as distinct from clarain is not always certain. In anthracites the brilliance of vitrain is increased over that in bituminous coals, and the luster can be de-scribed as submetallic. Such a change is characteristic of anthracit-ization.

Coking coal and steam coal are the two types of coal that is most frequently traded. The steam coal is used as sub-bituminous coal in power generation. It has higher energy content than brown coal and contains less ash, thus making it a better fuel for coal-fired power plants. Coking coal is a vital foundation in the metallurgical industry.
