I may be wrong but I believe the Jet mineral had this property as well. Jet is very common in my area.

Jet should also have this property :) Great if you have the opportunity to collect nearby, it is extremely interesting to generate electricity with the help of minerals.

I've collected some pretty big specimens over the years and have wanted to make something out of them. I tried to make a mirror finish on one piece. In my research on the subject of jet, I got a little distracted and stumbled upon the Van de Graaff generator and the (cooler) Wimshurst machine.
