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
