I'm glad to find someone else interested in sulfur...its a really cool element! As sulfur is burned, it emits a blue flame because of the production of sulfur dioxide, which is made during the combustion of O2 and sulfur.

Just out of curiosity, do you know anything about why sulfur-8 (yellow sulfur) turns blood red at a certain heat? I know it has something to do with its density and viscosity, but other than that I'm stumped!
