Item Description
A classic and excellent large combination piece from this well-known Sicily sulfur mine. Very attractively clustered rich bright yellow, lustrous, translucent, compound sulfur crystals are beautifully complimented by textbook hexagonal, two-toned, aragonite prisms to 3.7 cm. There are many more aragonite crystals on the fat side of the piece. The piece is in great shape, for the softness of the species. Pretty bright pink aragonite fluorescence. It displays very well from several sides. Valued at $850.
