Lavender coloured turquoise ??

Thanks Caroline,

I think might purchase a few different types and pick the best looking when I can see them in front of me ( why do I do this to myself )

Oh I think we always need a challenge or we get bored. Some are better than others though

I don't know if you are sorted now, but I think the few violet coloured minerals used for cabs might not give you the colour you want when ground down. Most non-metallic minerals have a white streak when crushed. Purple turquoise which is already ground up and dyed might work, but will contain resin. You might get a result from a mineral mica powder like the ones you put in lip balm and soap.
