Few minerals are as boldly purple as purpurite, and this polished piece shows that saturated violet color in a substantial, hand filling size.
It is a satisfying find for a collector who thinks they have seen every purple stone, and a beautiful accent for a desk, a shelf or an altar. Purple lovers who already own amethyst will appreciate something truly different. This is the exact stone shown. Its color looks most intense in natural daylight, so a spot near a window shows it off best.
The stone is about 3.25 by 2.5 by 3.825 inches. Purpurite can have darker brownish areas and natural pits alongside the purple, which are part of its character.
