Item Description

Classic and impressive large old-time sulfur and aragonite from Agrigento. Rich canary-yellow, translucent sulfur crystals, to 3.4 cm, are nicely scattered on the dramatic intergrown cluster of large pseudoehexgonal aragonite crystals. The stunning large hoppred aragonite is 5.0 cm across. Some of the aragonites wrap around the sulfur crystals, adding pizzazz. The bit of noted bruising and periphery wear has minimal impact to the overall imposing quality of this excellent piece. This striking piece has multiple display possibilities. BRIGHT pink aragonite fluorescence! From an East Coast collection and comes with a century-old faded and water-stained label. valued $2000
