This pocket was discovered in Autumn 2018.
The name is derived from the Jimi Hendrix song "Purple Haze" after the smoky, very dark, almost black, purple fluorite crystals, which appear a purple-coal black against the drusy snow-white calcite coating.
Adjacent to and connected with the Galena Pocket.
