Item Description
From a recent amazingly gemmy batch of specimens to come from this recent 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 are not opaque bright yellow, but TRANSPARENT. There are missing crystals, as with almost all of these (they are very soft and brittle), but you do not really notice them with all the flash and color going on!
