It is a deap purple and shines...very beautiful specimen. Gets even prettier as it gets older. Don't know if there is even one more in the US right now. I only have one available. The price tag is high but I think she is worth it. She is about 3 to 4 inches in size and $175 plus shipping. I will only express her 25.50 for express shipping and you get live on arrival gaurantee. Have to send me pics as she grows
