Buying sulfur for a shop
Sulfur is one of the few elements found in nature on its own, as bright yellow crystals that grow around volcanic vents and in sedimentary rock. This collection holds two different things under one name: native sulfur (a cluster on matrix and a cut-base polished point tower, each sold by size range) and sulfur quartz, a yellow quartz sold as tumbled stones in six sizes and as small to medium chips by the kilo.

Handling native sulfur
Native sulfur is very soft (about 2 on the Mohs scale) and brittle. It can crack from a sudden change in temperature, even the warmth of a hand on a cold piece, so let a parcel reach room temperature before you unpack it. Keep it dry, out of direct sun and away from heat. Sell it as a display specimen, not a pocket stone, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. A closed case or a high, labelled shelf works well.
Sulfur quartz
Sulfur quartz is a quartz, so it is hard and easy to handle. The tumbled stones suit counter bowls and kits; the chips suit jars, crafts and grids.

Sulfur FAQ
Is native sulfur safe to sell in a shop?
Sell it as a display specimen. Keep it away from children and pets, out of the sun and away from heat, and suggest customers wash their hands after handling it.
Why did my sulfur specimen crack?
Sulfur is brittle and sensitive to quick temperature changes. Let pieces warm to room temperature in the box before unpacking, and avoid holding cold pieces in a warm hand.
What is sulfur quartz?
It is a yellow quartz sold under the name sulfur quartz. It is much harder than native sulfur, which is why it is offered as tumbled stones and chips.
