Item Description

A stunning, sharp, 360-degree tabular sulfur crystal is dramatically perched atop aragonite matrix on this superlative, RARE style crystal from the historic mines at Agrigento. The translucent, moderately matte luster crystal has very rich orange-yellow color. This fantastic crystal looks great from any direction. The crystal is complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only scattered gentle scuffing. Very minor scuffing and bruising to the smaller sulfurs on the aragonite have minimal impact to the overall outstanding quality of this sulfur and aragonite combination. Pink aragonite fluorescence is a bonus. Sulfur crystals of this superlative style and quality are SELDOM offered - much less, at auction. This is a sophisticated and fine specimen worthy of standing on its own merits in a case next to tourmalines and fancy gem items. An old-time classic valued at $ 2500. from an old East Coast collection.
