Sparkly, micro cubes of the ULTRA-RARE organic quartz, melanophlogite, RICHLY cover the very AESTHETIC, spearpoint-shaped, en-echelon sulfur crystals on matrix from near the Type Locality in Sicily. This is not only an excellent sulfur specimen, but also contains a very rare organic mineral - a super combo. Ex. Dr. E.W. Heinrich and Seaman Museum Collections. Dr. Heinrich was a well-known mineralogy professor at the University of Michigan and his 15, 000 piece collection was acquired by the Seaman.
