Sulphur, though often referred to as brimstone, isn't a stone. It's a nonmetallic element naturally occurring as a bright yellow, brittle solid. You might find it in crystal formations, but these are more akin to crystallized sugar than a gemstone.

Sulphur is quite abundant. It can be found near volcanic vents, hot springs, and even in some cave formations. In its natural state, it appears as bright yellow crystals, chunky deposits, or even fine powder. Interestingly, refined Sulphur is often a pale-yellow powder used in many industrial applications.

While not considered a gemstone with mystical properties, Sulphur has held a place in folklore and mythology for centuries. In some cultures, it was associated with purification due to its ability to burn with a bright flame. Alchemists also incorporated it into their experiments, believing it held the key to transforming metals into gold.
