Page "Sulfur" Paragraph 18

On Earth, elemental sulfur can be found near hot springs and volcanic regions in many parts of the world, especially along the Pacific Ring of Fire ; such volcanic deposits are currently mined in Indonesia, Chile, and Japan.

Such deposits are polycrystalline, with the largest documented single crystal measuring 22 × 16 × 11 cm.

Historically, Sicily was a large source of sulfur in the Industrial Revolution.
