Item Description
From an amazingly gemmy batch of specimens that came out recently from this contemporary sulfur find. The forest of small, sharp crystals is dominated by about 8 much larger, sharply terminated crystals. The striking large crystal, with skeletal faces, is 2.2 cm long. The crystals 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!
