Mineral Collections in Colorado
Mineral Collections in Colorado gives an inside look at the mineral collections of 36 people and three mineral museums in the State of Colorado. Beginning with "A Brief History of Mineral Collecting in Colorado," editor Wendell Wilson provides a 16-page review of the earliest mineral collectors in the state, including many historical photos of people, labels, shops and early advertisements. Following that introduction are individual chapters devoted to most of the major mineral collectors and public mineral museums in Colorado, with biographical notes on their personal histories and collecting philosophies, illustrated by over 600 beautiful color specimen photos. At the end is a two-page bibliography of all the articles ever published on Colorado localities and museums in The Mineralogical Record, from 1970 through 2014.

The Collector and his Legacy: Irénée du Pont and the Mineralogical Collection of the University of Delaware

This Supplement to the May-June 2015 issue of the Mineralogical Record tells the story of the University of Delaware mineral collection, including the Irénée du Pont mineral collection acquired in 1964.
An eight-page section of the Supplement recounts and quotes from du Pont’s correspondence with Kunz regarding gem crystals of spodumene variety kunzite, of which a remarkable crystal, called the “Pala Princess,” became a centerpiece of the du Pont collection: this crystal is proudly displayed today in Delaware and is pictured full-page in the Supplement. Other examples of “classics” in the original du Pont collection, and also shown in about 40 pages of beautiful photographs, include a 2.2-cm gem emerald crystal from Colombia; a 3.2-cm group of gem-quality willemite crystals from Franklin, New Jersey; many fine elbaite specimens from California; several English barite and “butterfly”-twinned calcites of exceptional quality; a 7.6-cm matrix stolzite from Broken Hill, Australia; a 15.2-cm native lead from Långban, Sweden; and many more
