Sulphur [S] – Four suns in the Sicilian night

From the deep shadows of the bituminous matrix, four vivid and hypnotic yellow sulphur crystals emerge like stars in the darkness.

The elegance of their arrangement, poised on a glossy black base, offers collectors a vision of rare perfection: the extreme transparency allows you to glimpse the rock beneath each crystal, while every perfectly developed face reflects light with razor-sharp clarity. The delicate green shades running through the crystals are the signature of the secret meeting between sulphur and bitumen, in a perfect balance between crystal and matrix. This specimen, refined in the MCP laboratories, expresses the original brilliance of Sicilian sulphur.

👉 Discover it in person at the Mineral & Gem Show in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines. Book your exclusive appointment with our expert Alessandro Paladini!
