Item Description
Gemmy and lustrous, canary-yellow, sulfur crystals in a dense forest cover this colorful and excellent large piece from the recent Bolivian find. The crystals are particulary gemmy, not translucent or opaque and are way beyond Italian or Russian sulfurs in brightness and luster! The compound crystals reach over 3.0 cm in length. In the total coverage, the few bruised crystals are barely noticeable and are certainly not detracting. A fine and rich example.
