sulfur deposits
Volcanic yellow mineral buildup
Sulfur deposits are natural accumulations of elemental sulfur, typically found near volcanic vents, hot springs, or underground salt domes.
These bright yellow mineral formations have been mined for centuries to produce sulfuric acid, fertilizers, and gunpowder.
The volcanic crater was ringed with sulfur deposits that gave off a rotten-egg smell.
