The Sicilian sulfur in this auction is from old finds from which specimens have become very hard to obtain -- so it was exciting when these pretty matrix crystal sulfur specimens began to come out of Bolivia. The gemmy crystals that cover this specimen measure to one centimeter across, and have a dazzling bright yellow color. 8.3 x 5.6 x 4.2 cm
