PRODUCT INFORMATION
General Description
Nice to see polished material! Rare as hens teeth! Purpurite is a Manganese Iron Phosphate mineral with varying amounts of Iron depending on 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. Excellent rare specimens for collectors. Purpurite is a Manganese Iron Phosphate mineral. Price is grade dependent. Items are as shown.Product Data
