A HUGE (for the find) single crystal of sulfur from the El Desierto Mine, which has been producing the only decent supply of good sulfur specimens in the world over the past couple of years. Normally you see large plates of small crystals, but this is a whopper! Has a pretty, "melted" looking surface. 5.5 x 3.4 x 2.6cm
