Italian sulfur specimens have become extremely hard to find, as of course they were mined out decades ago, and when have you seen one of this size and magnitude around? This is a huge plate of bright yellow sulfur crystals, with the added attraction of SHARP, GEMMY gemmy celestine crystals growing all over it! These are unusually fine for celestines in this type of combination specimen, as they are generally much more milky-looking. This is a big, bright, happy and now rare SHOWPIECE! 19.2 x 18.5 x 10.6 cm
