Scores of tiny Native Sulfur crystals rest on the chalky white host rock of this hand specimen. These crystals do not exceed 0.1" (3 mm) in diameter and are generally in good condition, though several in one area are noticeably crushed. Their orthorhombic prismatic form appears to be good, though they are rather heavily intergrown in most areas, and their bright yellow color and pearly luster are standard for their species. They are generally translucent, though a few are dimly transparent. More massive Sulfur coats other areas of the host rock.
