“3.8 x 3.2 x 2.8 cm. This piece features lustrous/vitreous, beautiful blue color radiating aggregates and classic "rice grain"-shaped groups of smithsonite on matrix. A good representative piece of this classic material from New Mexico. 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).
