Can't Find Crystalline Sulfur in Subnautica
Crystalline Sulfur is not the same resource as early Cave Sulfur. It appears in the Lost River and lava regions, usually behind the deep progression route and its green-brine hazards.
LAST CHECK
ANSWER LOCK // QUICK RESPONSE
Search the Lost River under the green brine, then the Inactive Lava Zone, Lava Castle, and Lava Lakes. Do not search shallow caves for Crystalline Sulfur; that is where Cave Sulfur belongs.

Look for the rough yellow-and-white crystals in the Lost River brine and the volcanic biomes, not the red Cave Sulfur plants in early caves.
03 // EXACT ANSWERExact answerFULL SPOILER
The Lost River's green-brine sections are the first practical check; the Inactive Lava Zone, Lava Castle, and Lava Lakes provide later routes.
COMMON REASONS YOU ARE STUCK
- Searching the Safe Shallows or Kelp Forest
- Confusing Crystalline Sulfur with Cave Sulfur
- Entering green brine without a safe collection plan
- Stopping at the Lost River when the needed supply is in the lava zones
