A small amount of host rock on this specimen is attached to part of a crust of intergrown Sulfur crystals. They have warped but definite orthorombic prismatic form, and only a few show damage. The largest of these crystals has dimensions of 0.7 x 0.4 x 0.3" (1.8 x 1.0 x 0.8 cm), and most of the others are at least half that size. All have the characteristic bright yellow color and vitreous luster of Sulfur crystals. They are transparent and some show excellent clarity, though most are somewhat cloudy and contain many internal fractures. The specimen is affixed to a square acrylic base with a hot-melt glue.
