Old piece with ten perfect yellow sulphur crystals, the largest is 1,5 cm with traces of brown natural bitumen in Aragonite matrix. The traces of natural bitumen can be removed by putting the trichloroethylene with a soft brush, but it is very attractive even with the few traces of bitumen that cover partially some sulphur crystal and aragonite which is present in the rock. The Cozzodisi mine was closed in the early 80 's.
