Sulfur

Item Description

This excellent and showy sulfur is from an amazingly gemmy batch of specimens that came out a couple of years ago from this contemporary sulfur find. The finds of beautiful crystallized, canary-yellow 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 plate are PARTICULARLY gemmy - not opaque bright yellow, but TRANSPARENT and jewel-like (much better in person!). The large crystal is 1.5 cm. 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!
