3" Talamone Sulfur Crystal Aggregation - Italy

This is a beautiful, 3" wide talamone sulfur crystal cluster, collected from the Giumentaro Mine in Sicily, Italy. "Talamone" sulfur is known to form as crystals with rough faces and/or as botryoidal masses, both of which are featured on this specimen. The color of talamone sulfur can range from deep yellow to orange-red.

It comes with an acrylic display stand.

The chemical composition of sulfur crystal is S8, meaning 8 sulfur atoms bonded together to form a sulfur molecule. The crystal structure is typically tabular or as blocky dipyramids that form in sedimentary rock.
