Description

Fantastic bright yellow “naturally formed” sulfur stalactite of 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 into fantastic stalactite formations like this one. The specimen displays a bright lemony yellow color with a waxen 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! A really special piece and 100% natural!
