Hi Seaglow, no - not Sulphur and not danburite. The stone is less than 0,10 ct... |

The problem is that it isn't clear what you mean by "rare". Do you mean rare as in a rare yellow sapphire, or rare yellow tourmaline? (Both of those are rare, but not unheard of colors for those gemstones). That is do you mean a rare color for a gemstone or a rare gemstone that is that color? |

It is a mineral sometimes used as a gem but almost never clean enough to facet - a vivid neon color is rare too. So rare as a faceted gem with a vivid color. |

Wow - never heard of "asisite" and "corkite" But none of these four minerals is my little gem. Some help? It is from Canada... |
