Fluorite (ex Willard Wulff Collection)

Item Description

This specimen comes from the collection of Willard W. Wulff (1904-1998) of Colorado Springs, Colorado, a prominent figure and collector of Colorado minerals. Wulff was one of the founding members of the Colorado Springs Mineralogical Society in 1936. You can read Willard's bio on the Mineralogical Record website here ( http://www.minrec.org/labels.asp?colid=1528 ). The piece comes with a typed label from Wulff on one of his famous 3x5 index cards that states the piece was acquired from V. D. Hill. This is a cool display piece of sharp, gemmy, VERY lustrous colorful soft blue color Fluorite cubes measuring up to 1.3 cm. It's not 100% perfect, but it's still an attractive, great old time specimen from this noteworthy collection. The color looks best in sunlight, like most Fluorites from this area.
