Description

Very fine miniature featuring over two dozens of thick bipyramidal sulphur crystal on calcite laden evaporite matrix. Excellent color contrast with the matrix.
The sulphur is very lustrous, its color is mostly homogenous canary yellow, and - a rather rare feature - some crystals are also transparent! 

A really good sulphur specimen, with just very minimal peripheral bruising. Sought-after material

From the former Lehmann collection (CH) and more recently mine.
