Italian sulfurs, the best in the world, are really hard to obtain now. This one has gemmy, bright yellow crystals to 0.8 cm, isolated on a matrix carpeted with micro-calcites. There are crystals on BOTH SIDES of this specimen, as it was apparently a ridge that was exposed on both sides in the pocket, and the calcite with sulfurs wraps all the way around the specimen. Ex. John Ydren Collection.
