Natural orthorhombic sulfur (α-S8), grown on galena crystals from Cap Garonne, Mine du Pradet, France, were studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction at 150 K: Fddd, a=1036.75(5), b=1273.54(7), c=2437.85(13) pm, wR=0.0380, 1433 F2 values (all data) and 37 variables. Refinements of the occupancy parameters along with EDX data indicate pure sulfur.
