DENVER SHOW SPECIAL: FINE MINERAL COLLECTION and INVENTORY LIQUIDATION AUCTION (set 2 of 2) - end September 22nd, 2016
Ends September 22nd, 2016
at 7:00 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. A fine quality matrix Sapphire from Madagascar
2. Beautiful rich green gemmy octahedral Fluorite on matrix from South Africa
3. A lovely Diamond crystal from the Miba Mine, Democratic Republic of Congo
4. Classic old time Libethenite from the Type Locality!
