FINE MINERAL COLLECTION and INVENTORY LIQUIDATION AUCTION (set 2 of 2) - end October 6th, 2016
Ends October 6th, 2016
at 6:45 PM (Central Time Zone)
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: NEW COLLECTION ACQUIRED!
We are excited to announce that we have purchased the collection of Willard W. Wulff (1904-1998) of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Wulff was a fixture in the world of Colorado field collecting, and was one of the founding members of Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society in November of 1936. His contemporaries included dealer Lazard Cahn, famous field collector Edwin Over and the esteemed collector George White. Starting this week, the majority of Wulff's 1000+ piece collection will be offered over the coming months in the auctions. Most specimens are accompanied with Wulff's signature typed 3x5 index cards, and some specimens date back over 70 years! A great "time capsule" of a collection with plenty of interesting, unique and worthwhile specimens to add to your own collection.
We found a link for an autobiography that Wulff wrote in 1985 on the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society website. Click here to read it.
This week's auction is filled with a great selection of pieces with specimen from world famous classic localities, along with contemporary treats, native elements, rarities, gem crystals and more! We're not just listing the standard "20 species" from week to week, but an eclectic mix of interesting minerals, classic material and hard to find species that appeal to wide range of collectors. You will see a lot of exciting material in the coming weeks and months with plenty of desirable specimens for all tastes!
Some of the highlights from this week's include:
1. Large crystals of SKUTTERUDITE from Morocco from the collection of Dr. Stephen Smale!
2. Hard to find QUARTZ pseudomorphs after HEMIMORPHITE from Montana
3. A TOURMALINE on QUARTZ from the Willard Wulff Collection (originally from Fred Pough!)
4. Fine PARAVAUXITE and SIGLOITE crystals on matrix from Llallagua, Bolivia
5. Unusual OZOCERITE ("Natural Mineral Wax") from Utah from the Willard Wulff Collection
6. Rarities include Gudmundite, Lemanskiite, Emmonsite, Svenekite and Serpierite
