Vanadinite (ex Willard Wulff Collection)

Item Description

Tiny, sparkling, classic orange-red color crystals of hexagonal Vanadinite with Calcite on matrix from this lesser known locale for the material. Good quality overall, and very little damage. More than just a reference specimen, and a must-have for any Arizona collector or a worldwide Vanadinite collector. This piece comes to us 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.
