Care and Handling of Sicilian Sulfur

Sulfur is a sensitive mineral that requires special care. Please observe the following instructions to keep your piece in the best condition for the long term:

• Sulfur is light-sensitive – avoid direct, continuously intense sunlight, as this can cause color changes
• Do not clean with water, as sulfur is water-sensitive – a dry, soft cloth is sufficient
• Protect from heat: sulfur has a comparatively low melting point and should not be stored near heat sources
• Handle with care – the crystals can chip upon impact
• Store the stone in a cool, dry, and protected place, ideally in a mineral display case or on a tray with a soft surface
