Item Description
Lovely golden-yellow films of iron oxides preferentially coat the striking large sculptural spray of lustrous, transparent to translucnet quartz points. highly unusual! The dominating large central quartz is 7.2 cm long. In great shape overall. The large quartz has a modest bit of termination edge wear and the minimal periphery wear is restricted to one side. Ex Hefendehl Collection. Kurt Hefendehl was a well-known collector in the mineral world all over Europe with worldwide contacts to dealers and collectors. He started seriously collecting in the age of 14 and his great and various worldwide collection reached a number of over 6000 pieces. He was incredibly mineralogically active, until shortly before his passing in 2020 in the age of 82 years. His collection had, considering that high number of pieces, an unusual high quality standard from most worldwide localities. He particularly specialized in all classics; and the minerals of the Black Forest where he spent many visits collecting (that and the Germany subcollection went to his good friend Wolfgang Wendel. The Italian suite went to Marini). We have the rest to offer over the next 2-3 years, through our platforms. We have lost a great friend and connoisseur, a true mineral collector of the Golden Age. This impressive Chinese piece has fine 360-degree viewability and is from 1990s to 2000s finds. Specimens of this size and rich color are seldom on the market today.
