Well, the moon rocks don't look like much either, but I was pretty wowed
when I got to see a bunch of them up close. (1)...
Just as I was by a little bitty hunk of concrete with a goodly swatch of
paint on the side, which just happened to be a piece of the Berlin Wall.
It's not the material, it's the provenance. So I would expect to be wowed by
this coal as well. What a history!
Looking forward to our meeting!

in this pic I am no more than 18 inches (and a lot of Plexiglas(tm) ) away
from a large chunk of 4B year old rock from the moon!
