Gypsum (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 classic group of sharp, lustrous, well formed, gemmy, golden to colorless prismatic crystals sitting on matrix. The piece is in excellent condition as nearly every crystal is unbroken / complete. Very hard to find this particular style from Swan Hill with sharp, lustrous and gemmy crystals like this piece. The piece is somewhat fragile, so please make sure it is handled carefully.
