Sulfur from Tarnobrzeg, Subcarpathian Voivodeship, Poland
Tarnobrzeg sulfur is one of the great European classics: bright yellow native sulfur from a giant Miocene evaporite-replacement deposit, collected chiefly from the former Machów open-pit mine and, in the broader Tarnobrzeg sulfur district, associated with Piaseczno, Jeziórko, Osiek, and Baranów. The best specimens are unmistakable—lemon-yellow to amber sulfur crystals sparkling on darker massive sulfur, on honey calcite, or in striking combination with pale to bluish celestine and white to gray barite.
