| Title | Sulfur - gas byproduct |
|---|---|
| Description | Earthy, massive, specimens of sulfur like this one usually come from volcanic sulfur springs. They typically contain many small, bubbly, holes, usually have a greasy feel, and give off a strong “rotten-egg” odor. This 11 cm wide specimen, however, is not a natural sample. It is the byproduct of a distilling operation that removes sulfur from petroleum. |
