Bring a burst of sunshine to your collection with this vibrant 154-gram Native Sulfur specimen from the renowned Maybee Quarry in Exeter Township, Monroe County, Michigan, USA — a classic American locality celebrated for its vividly colored sulfur crystals and outstanding display pieces.
This specimen glows with an intense lemon-yellow hue, showcasing natural translucence and a soft waxy luster that captures light beautifully from every angle. Its surface reveals a dynamic texture of crystalline growths, giving the piece a natural sculptural quality. The color saturation is remarkable — rich, even, and unmistakably true to Maybee’s best finds.
Formed within limestone cavities of a sedimentary environment, these sulfur crystals originated through low-temperature evaporitic processes that produced sharp, vibrant crystal clusters. The Maybee Quarry has long been prized by mineral enthusiasts as one of the finest U.S. localities for native sulfur, and specimens from this site have become increasingly difficult to obtain as access has become limited.
Measuring approximately 79 × 55 mm, this specimen offers excellent display proportions and visual impact. It embodies the cheerful energy and geological fascination of classic North American mineralogy — an ideal addition to any fine mineral collection or museum-quality display.
