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

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. :hello2:
Chip off a piece and try to ignite it, the smell of it burning is also quite special. :coffee2:
