Item Description

This specimen is a particularly lovely cluster of fine quality "Rock Crystal" Quartz with very sharp, lustrous faces and excellent water-clear clarity. Complete all around. Classic US material, hard to find. 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 mounted in a "Perky" box with a typed label from Wulff. A wonderfully historic and eye-catching specimen of this well known old time material.
