Description

19th century old timer from Krantz: a crystal aggregate of sulfur from Girgenti labeled to be selenian sulfur. The colour is more orange than the usual sulphur specimens from that region but is not diagnostic of any selenium content. Usually selenian sulfur is a product of volcanic sublimation processes but Girgenti is known for formations from hydrous solutions which may be the case here. Anyway an interesting specimen.
