Uncommon glassy, translucent, rich canary-yellow TABULAR sulfur prisms, to 2.2 cm, are aesthetically set on the sulfur matrix plate. The crystals are richly and preferentially peppered with tiny scintillating gemmy celestine crystals. Scattered clusters of tiny gemmy colorless aragonite scalenohedrons are a rare and fine accessory. The aragonites fluoresce pink.
