From an earlier amazingly gemmy batch of specimens to come from this relatively recent sulfur find. The finds of beautiful crystallized sulfur in Bolivia came at a great time, when old specimens from Sicily have become really hard to get, and only a trickle is coming from Russia. The crystals on this plate are particularly large for the find, and gemmy; not opaque bright yellow, but transparent.
