A bit of purple color the mineral Vivianite
Vivianite is an iron phosphate mineral that has small amounts of manganese, magnesium, and calcium in its structure. Vivianite is colorless but oxidizes quickly, which means its color can change. Specimens of Vivianite can be found in shades of deep purple, dark blue, black, and green.
If you are ever in Chicago, you need to visit the Lizadro Museum of Lapidary. You'd definitely come away with a couple hundred shots at least 💎💎💎💎
