| Title | Native sulfur on gypsum |
|---|---|
| Description | Native sulfur sometimes has a bad odor, but it forms attractive mineral samples. Sulfur may occurs as euhedral (well formed) crystals, but not in this sample. There are few other minerals with comparable deep yellow color; of those orpiment and some uranium minerals are the most common. In this specimen, the sulfur is on gray gypsum. Both sulfur and gypsum are important industrial minerals. The specimen is 11 cm across. |
