Abstract
An occurrence of a purple mica is described, an analysis of the mineral presented, and the conclusion reached that it is identical with alurgite, described previously only from St. Marcel, Piedmont, Italy. It is contended that alurgite is sufficiently different in physical and optical properties to warrant retaining the name as a varietal name in the series of the mica group between muscovite and biotite.
