Sulphur
El Desierto mine, San Pablo de Napa, Daniel Campos Province, Potosí, Bolivia
28.9 x 25.6 x 12.6 cm (11.38 x 10.08 x 4.96 in)

This extremely large Sulphur specimen hosts a sweeping field of elongated, sharply defined crystals rising densely across the matrix-likely taken straight from a pocket wall at the famous Sulphur mine. Every single crystal is detailed with deep skeletal features, has a glassy luster, and glows with an intense canary-yellow color.

From the collection of Daniel "Dan" R. Kennedy.
