Sulfur from Cianciana Mine, Agrigento, Italy [db_pics/pics/b784a.jpg] Sulfur from Cianciana Mine, Agrigento, Italy [db_pics/pics/b784b.jpg] Sulfur from Cianciana Mine, Agrigento, Italy [db_pics/pics/b784c.jpg]

Elongated single crystal on Sulfur. The crystal itself is 3cm tall and highly gemmy, more gemmy and yellow than the photos convey. The elongated shape is characteristic for this mine. The matrix is a broken shard of crystalline Sulfur, but the crystal itself is complete and undamaged. The amount of matrix could of course be easily reduced to further highlight the crystal.
