Rough, unpolished purpurite keeps its purple color as it was found, and these four pieces show it.
The four stones differ mostly in shape. Stone 3 is the longest, a good pick for laying along a shelf, while stone 4 is the most compact and deepest, so it sits up as a small block. Stones 1 and 2 share the same footprint, with 2 the thicker and heavier of the pair, which gives it more presence on a desk. All four show purpurite's purple color in rough form, ready for a home office, a bookshelf or a mineral cabinet. Pick the number whose shape suits your space.
Purpurite is a manganese phosphate mineral that forms a series with heterosite, its iron rich counterpart. Its colors run from violet and reddish purple to dark pink and brownish black, and Namibia is a noted locality. It rates 4 to 5 on the Mohs scale.
Stone Meaning: Purpurite is traditionally associated with self expression and confidence.
