Description from the seller

Great, very colorful, and of the highest quality, Bituminous Sulfur coming from one of the largest sulfur mines in Sicily, the Cozzo Disi mine located in the province of Agrigento.
Inside it, the largest and most beautiful specimens of this very rare and peculiar mineral were discovered.
A porous, brownish matrix encloses a large quantity of very luminous bituminous sulfur crystals with an intense green color.
The mine was closed in 1989 along with the last six sulfur mines in Sicily; therefore, specimens of this type are a real rarity.

Size: 330 x 240 x 210 mm
Weight: 9600 g
Origin: Sicily, Italy
