Purpurite is a manganese phosphate mineral, and these two large rough stones show its purple color in an unpolished, natural state.
Rough pieces keep the uneven, mineral texture that polishing removes. Stone A is the slimmer of the two, about 6.125 inches long and 3.25 inches wide, while stone B is broader, at about 5.25 inches wide, for a chunkier look on a shelf. Both stand about 3.5 inches tall. Either one makes a strong mineral display for a home office or a collection cabinet, and either would suit a mineral collector who has everything else. Each stone is labeled in its own photo, a ruler photo shows both together, and stone A is shown in hand. You choose the exact piece from the photos.
Stone A is about 6.125 by 3.25 by 3.5 inches tall and stone B is about 6 by 5.25 by 3.5 inches tall.
