Description

Large specimen with very good sulphur crystals on a not yet identified matrix. The material is very light, milky white to colorless, glossy and looks like hyalite, but is much too light and brittle. Ideas range from giorgiosite to dypingite, hydromagnesite, hydrozincite to plain gypsum. There are also white crystals of the same or other material. Should be analyzed.

Meanwhile you can try your luck on - maybe - something very special ...
