Item Description

A truly CLASSIC specimen. Almost no sulfur specimens are being recoverd these days from Sicily. Isolated, sharp, gemmy and lustrous, canary-yellow sulfur crystals to 1.0 cm are richly and aesthetically scattered on the contrasting, tan, aragonite CABINET matrix. All of the many major sulfur crystals are pristine, and the scattered bit of bruising is certainly not a detraction to this very fine, rich specimen with discrete crystals.
