Superb, sharp crystals to 1 cm, translucent, look like purple corundum. Instead they are this rare iron sulfate. This strange mineral is rarely found in specimens larger than a thumbnail or a crust with small crystals. Here is a small cab, with rich purple color (the lighting makes it look more even than in person, where I admit the color is more ...
