3.7" Lemon-Yellow Sulfur Crystal Cluster - Italy

This is a 3.7" wide, top-quality sulfur crystal cluster collected from the Cianciana Mine in Sicilia, Italy. The crystals have a ridiculously vibrant color and are in a solid habit instead of as a powdery coating typical in sulfur deposits.

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.
