1.3" Striking Sulfur Crystal - Italy

This is a 1.3" wide sulfur crystal collected from the Cianciana Mine in Sicilia, Italy. The crystal has a ridiculously vibrant color and is in a solid habit instead of as a powdery coating typical in sulfur deposits. This crystal is mounted to a clear acrylic display stand with mineral tack for a clean, aesthetic presentation.

The chemical composition of this vibrant mineral is S8, eight sulfur atoms bonded together to form a sulfur molecule. The crystal structures are typically tabular or blocky dipyramids that form in sedimentary rock.

One note on handling: sulfur crystals can crack when exposed to rapid changes in temperature.
