Description

A bright yellow, spectacular sulfur stalactite from the “Blue Flame Volcano” in Java. The liquid sulfur flows out of this volcano and runs over drip edges, where the sulfur cools and hardens as aesthetic, well formed stalactite formations like the particular one. The specimen displays a bright lemony yellow color with an excellent luster! In this case, nature has let its imagination run free to create extraordinary formations! The bottom was extracted from the rock. No significant damage to report!
