Item Description

An old-time, large, sharply crystallized sulfur crystal from a classic Sicily locale - the Racalmuto Mine and the John Ydren Collection. This lustrous, translucent, canary-yellow crystal is totally crystallized and pristine on the front, top and one side. The other side has a partial contact and the back is contacted. This is an outstanding sulfur crystal with textbook orthorhombic form. The UNRETOUCHED backlit photo highlights the super translucency and stunning yellow saturation. Definitely classic and fine material from this famous locale.
