These variations are called "Allotropes" of the element. The element Sulfur forms 30 solid allotropes, more than any other element. The next element to commonly form allotropes is the element Carbon, which forms - Soot (amorphous carbon), Graphite, Diamond, Buckminsterfullerene, Lonsdaleite, Graphine, and Carbon nanotubes.
