Purpurite, location unknown (W 2 7/8 X D 1 3/8 X 3 inches)

This listing is for a specimen of purpurite. This gorgeous rough stone has great purple color and will sit upright or on one side for display purposes. Fine veins of the white matrix rock material course their way through the purple, creating a good color contrast. Named in 1905 by Louis C. Graton and Waldemar T. Schaller from the Latin "purpura" in allusion to its color. Location unknown, from an old collection. 

Purpurite aligns with the crown chakra. The archetype associated with the crown is guru (healthy aspect), and egotist (unhealthy aspect). Knowing this, you can use this stone to help you develop inner wisdom instead of relying on the personality, especially when a deeper understanding or level of compassion is essential. Remaining aware of the basic spiritual nature of all life, having compassion for all beings, and approaching situations with love are all things that purpurite supports and contributes to.
