What is Fusain Nitram charcoal, and can you take a photo of a piece of it?

Thanks Linda (and Ilaria & Kim!)
Here's a link to the charcoal:
Fusain Nitram
We were asked to buy this brand. It's very nice - lays down a much more expressive line than vine charcoal. I noticed a huge difference.
It's square so it's hard to sharpen. Costs a lot more, so when it snaps off during sharpening and falls into the trash barrel, expletives fly (under the breath, of course)! And it's dumpster diving time! LOL.
