The power of the internet, Xavier, the power of the internet.   
 I found a web-link that may let you connect with someone closer to you that can positively identify it.  This is the link to the Federation of Southern African Gem and Mineralogical Societies.

  If you look under the Member Clubs link or maybe even the dealers link (not my first choice), you might link up to someone without having to make the long trip.

Hi Xavier.  I might beat Outback to the answer.  In really simple terms, peat is decayed plant material, usually accumulated in bogs and swamps. It's harvested and dried in a lot of the world for use as a fuel.  The generally accepted thought is that under the correct geological conditions peat will eventually form into coal.
