Description

Fine, damageless and lustrous native sulphur crystals on white calcite. Note that on one face, the main crystal displays some remarkable spikes (see close-up picture), that I assume being patterns of unfinished growth at high rate (in a similar way to dendrites).

From the main find at the end of the mining activities in 1992.
