Its purple colour is the result of traces of Iron and exposure to low-level natural radiation.The stone itself is not radioactive in any way. The levels of exposure and Iron traces decide the shade of purple.

Colour

May be transparent or opaque, its natural colour varies from light fair purple with pink tones to a deep rich dark purple colour.
