Description: SULFUR CRYSTALS SPECIMEN 玻利維亞 波托西 自然硫晶體標本 PotosÃ, Bolivia High in the Andes, a seething volcanic hotbed produced this specimen of quality native sulfur.

Known in olden times as brimstone, sulfur has a faint but distinctive smell, such as that of burnt matches (not, thankfully, the rotten-egg smell of hydrogen sulfide). This fine specimen displays blazing color, large vertical crystal forms, and incredible scintillation, 266 mm wide.
