This stuff is very soft & it stinks !Lol-i really have been looking at the salt dome info on the gulf of mexico -it sounds about right-and the rocks match up....Now i have to find some chambersite purple rock crystal! Origin: Venice Salt Dome / Lake Hermitage / Plaquemines Parish / Lousiana / USA
Sulphur does have a low melting point and burns readily in air - maybe your ID wasn't to far off.
Chip off a piece and try to ignite it, the smell of it burning is also quite special.
