== Sulfur Minerals ==
* Sulphide - in Sulphide form
# Iron Pyrite Iron Pyrite (Fe S2)
# Copper Pyrite Copper Pyrite (Cu,S Fe, S
# Galena (PbS)
# Cinnabar (Hg S)
# Hydrogen Sulfide Hydrogen Sulfide (H, S)
* Sulphate - In the form of Sulphate.
# Gypsum or calcium sulfate (Ca SO 2H, O)
# Heavy spar (Ba SO )
# Ferrous Sulphate (FeSO, 7H, O)
# Copper Sulphate (Cu SO, SHO)
Apart from this, sulfur is also found in some organic substances like radish, onion, garlic, egg, etc. and in coal and crude petroleum products.
== Place of receipt ==
Free sulfur is found in the Sicilian volcanic region of 'Italy', Spain, Texas, New Zealand, Japan etc. countries.

On increasing the temperature, its color changes to the color of Nar. But it turns yellow again at higher temperatures above 500°C, its boiling point is 444°C. Its relative density is 2.06, it is insoluble in water. light stroke
== Use of Sulphur ==
(1) In making Sulfur Dioxide gas, from which Sulfuric Acid and Sulphide are made which are very useful for Metallurgy and Kal-Factories.
(2) Carbon dioxide gas in fireworks, matches, and gunpowder etc.
In making. (3) Calcium by sulphide which is very useful in paper industry.
