Sulfur Crystals in a Vuggy Matrix

Bright Yellow Sulfur Rock on display at Western Museum of Mining and Industry

Each month, WMMI features a new rock or mineral. This month we feature these sulfur crystals in a Vuggy Matrix.  Native sulfur is a bright yellow, soft, odorous mineral.  This piece of sulfur has perfectly terminated crystals in brilliant yellow.  Today sulfur is mined to produce sulfuric acid which is a component for fertilizers.  Sulfur is also a component in the production of steel, cement, rubber, explosives and other products.  See this and many other rocks and minerals at your non-profit, local museum.

    Excellent museum. Highly recommended. Great 10AM tour guide. Turned on many machines that made me travel back in time. They have super large machines from the 1880s or so, the one I appreciated most was the Edison Dynamo.
