Brilliant color! I hate to sound uninformed, but I am. Is the arsenic what makes the yellow color?

I believe the yellow color is caused by sulphur. The material is mined very near sulphur vents on an active volcano in Bali.

Yup, the yellow is attributed to sulphur content.

Wowza, those are bright! I saw some cabs made from similar material (not nearly as spectacular though) this weekend and thought I really needed some. But arsenic heavy huh? Does this mean any cabs from this will be automatically entered in the Killer Cab Contest??

It has a high sulfur content for sure. The dealer Y2B2 bought a large quantity from last year is next to us here in Tucson. The bins just plain stink. Very striking material but I have to wonder what cabs smell like.
