I only have a tiny piece of earthy sulphur, but not to worry, I have plenty of other stuff. Sulphur and sulphurous ores are quite rare in Germany. Again, I must ask where Indo. is? Indonesia, Indiana, Idaho? Indochina perhaps? We are all fine. Business has been bad the last year or so, but appears to be picking up well again the last three or four months.
