The Massive field of the Sulfur section should be used to record stations where sulfur in massive form can be found.
Massive sulfur deposits usually appear as pale-yellow to canary-yellow deposits. They can vary in size but are often large with their own contained vugs. Any appearance of sulfur is strongly associated with the other forms so look for them, too. Also, sulfur in all forms is strongly associated with gypsum and unless it has been removed by some means, gypsum formations of various kinds are likely to be found nearby as well.
