Is it possible to make a charcoal lump stop leaving marks?

I thought about using a charcoal lump (you know, the regular stove coal) as a stand. Is it possible to make it stop leaving black marks on anything it touches? Like, sealing it, or something else?

Differences between 'soft' and 'light' charcoal pencils

Is the charcoal that's branded with 'soft' the same as the one that's branded with 'light'? Are there any differences between them?
