These rough purpurite pieces show deep violet to rich plum color in a matte, earthy form.
They are untumbled and unpolished, so you see the stone the way it came out of the ground, with natural texture and color variation across each piece. Choose by shape and size: they range from about 3 inches to 5 inches, and every option is photographed on its own. Purpurite is a manganese phosphate, which sets it apart from purple quartz and makes it a fresh addition to a collection that already has amethyst. It makes a thoughtful gift for a collector or anyone who loves purple. You choose the exact piece from the photos.
Each numbered option is pictured on its own, so the piece you see is the piece you receive. See the sizes by number below.
