- Octasulfur is a soft, bright-yellow solid with only a faint odor, similar to that of matches.
- At 95.2 °C, below its melting temperature, cyclooctasulfur changes from α-octasulfur to the β-polymorph.
- Between its melting and boiling temperatures, octasulfur changes its allotropic form again, turning from β-octasulfur to γ-sulfur.
