A sharp, exceptionally crystallized, transparent sulphur from an unusual locality. These were early mineral exports to the West, brought out by the Rocksmiths in the 1980s. Specimens today are very rare, and seldom seen. At their best, for quality gram for gram, this is a higher level of surface quality and internal gemminess than anything from Italy's classic localities for the same species. This is a fine, competition level thumbnail specimen from the long-held collection of Jean Smith (founder of the Rocksmiths dealership which I grew up buying from, as did so many collectors of my own generation in the 1980s-90s).
