Special Auction - German Classics from the Kurt Hefendehl Collection

We are pleased to offer a selection of classic German mineral specimens from the collection of one of the great mineral collectors in Germany from the last nearly 70 years. Kurt Hefendehl was a well-known German collector all over Europe with worldwide contacts to dealers and collectors. He started collecting seriously at the age of 14 and his great and varied worldwide collection reached over 6000 pieces. He was very active mineralogically until shortly before his passing in 2020 at the age of 82. Considering his collection had a large number of pieces, it still had an unusually high standard of quality from most worldwide localities. He particularly specialized in all classics as well as minerals of the Black Forest, where he spent much time collecting. We at The Arkenstone have the privilege of offering the remainder of this great collection.
