A NOTE FROM NICK
A Nice Tray of a Dozen Natural Silky Metallic Purple Purpurite on Matrix Selected Rough Cobbed Specimens. We mined this ourselves up behind Usakos towards the Erongo mountains and good material like this is getting hard to find. Has a very specific way of polishing which is complicated but rewarding as Lapidary material, but these are great as metallic purple specimens,
