Native sulfur is pure sulfur.
http://www.galleries.com/minerals/elements/sulfur/sulfur.htmThe presence of near-pure sulfur somewhere isn't proof of anything. Historically, nearly all of the sulfur used in industrial processes was harvested from native sulfur sites. Only in the more modern times have we started getting sulfur from hydrocarbons because sulfur compounds are a natural byproduct of oil refining, so it's cheaper to get it this way than to mine it specifically.
maybe u didnt read the article i put up there but let me explain it to you simpler.
"The walls and the cities were all completely turned to ash"
"a worker picks up a chunk of wall and easily crushes it"
"The balls themselves were composed of
pressed pure powder sulfur. C
hecking with volcanic experts around the world confirmed that no where else in the world, even around volcanic activity, were any balls of this composition found. When the balls had fallen from heaven, they were estimated to be around 5,000 degrees Celsius (or around 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit). After consuming everything that was around them, the heat continue to melt the ash that had formed around them, vitrifying (turning to glass) the ash. Thus the balls were surrounded by a glassy casing of melted and re-solidified ash."
"Some what were thought to be gold coins were found. However, upon analysis, it was found that the coins had been turned into gold salts. The heat had literally burned up the gold in the coins turning them to gold ash."
