Sulfur

Item Description

From an amazingly gemmy batch of specimens that came out recently from this contemporary sulfur find. The finds of beautiful crystallized sulfur in Bolivia came at a great time, when old specimens from Sicily have become really hard to get and expensive, and only a trickle is coming from Russia. The crystals on this large undulating speicmen are PARTICULARLY gemmy, not opaque bright yellow, but TRANSPARENT and jewel-like (much better in person! The camera does not come close to capturing them; they are really like bright gems - way beyond Italian or Russian sulfurs in brightness and luster! This piece is very noteworthy for the crystal ISOLATION on part of the piece. Periphery wear is noted along the edges, along with just a bit of bruising, but is only a modest detraction from this impressive specimen. This showy large piece has crystals up to 1.1 cm long.
