"Fragolino" sulfur on celestine and calcite – La Grasta Mine, Sicily – Rare. A characteristic specimen of "fragolino"-type native sulfur associated with celestine and calcite, originating from the historic La Grasta mine in the Delia-Sommatino mining district (Caltanissetta, Sicily, Italy).
The specimen stands out for its unusual "fragolino" sulfur, featuring finely developed crystal aggregates that create a distinctive surface texture. The sulfur occurs in association with celestine and calcite, resulting in a captivating combination of contrasting colors, crystal habits, and surface textures.
