General Description
A world first, polished Purpurite! This material has been beautifully polished into a range of different shapes. Purpurite is a Manganese Iron Phosphate mineral with varying amounts of Iron depending upon its source. It occurs in colour ranges from brownish black via purple and violet to dark red. Purpurite forms a series with the Iron-bearing endmember Heterosite, FePO4. We obtain Purpurite from Namibia. Purpurite doesn't form crystals but rather occurs as a beautiful metallic chatoyancy in veins and along fracture plains of the host rock. Price is grade dependant. Items are as shown.Product Data
