    Yellow serpentine is my guess.. Here's a cut one with hematite (iron ore, black)

    Geologists are gneiss, tuff, and a little wacke.

    How soft? Can you scratch it with your finger nail?

    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.
