is the purple, metal or crystal? have you looked at it under a microscope? if its metal is it magnetic? pic of the rock it self or sample before crushed.

It appears that it may be Gold that is stained or possibly Gold with a heavy Copper content and/or contains some Iron. Soak all of the pieces in vinegar for a few minutes ar more, remove then rinse with water and see what they look like then.
