HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Purpurite is a vibrant purple mineral known for its striking color. Its name derives from the Latin word “purpura,” meaning purple, emphasizing its unique hue. Purpurite is primarily composed of phosphate of manganese and iron, making it relatively soft and prone to minor shedding when rubbed. Therefore, it requires careful handling, and hands should be washed after use.

This mineral is relatively young in human history, discovered in 1905 in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, by geologists L.C. Graton and W.T. Schaller. With the rise of the New Age spiritual movement, purpurite gained attention due to its connection to spiritual awakening and transformation. It is often referred to as the “Stone of Freedom,” symbolizing liberation and personal growth. Purpurite resonates with higher energy centers, particularly the Third Eye and Crown Chakras, making it an essential tool for spiritual practitioners seeking to enhance intuition and connect with higher energies.
