Nice Sicilian sulfurs (the world standard) are just getting harder and harder to get. This one has the BRIGHTEST colored TEXTBOOK crystals on an unusually pretty matrix of spiky crystalline calcite. The crystals measure to 1.6 cm tip-to-tip. The beautiful old European specimen came out of the Robert Ray collection. 8.5 x 5.6 x 3.7 cm
