Microcline (Manebach Twin) (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. A sharp, beige colored, wellf-formed, "textbook" Manebach Twin of Microcline measuring 2.8 cm on additional Microcline crystal matrix. The piece appears to have been broken and repaired, but the label doesn't say anything about a repair, but the crack seems to go all the way through, so please keep this in mind when bidding.
