Item Description

Beautiful lemon-yellow, sharp, translucent sulfur crystals to 1.2 cm (doubly terminated) are richly and aesthetically scattered on the undulating matrix of tan dogtooth aragonite crystals. This is a very fine combination classic from this famous locale. Nearly pristine, with only one one bruised crystal on the right periphery. Certainly a very minimal detraction to this colorful and excellent combination. The aragonite has pink LW fluorescence and white SW fluorescence. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection.
