Putnisite is a recently discovered (2007) mineral that occurs as tiny crystals on volcanic rock. Discovered at Polar Bear peninsula, a remote location about 40 km north-east of Norseman, and surrounded by the usually dry Lake Cowan salt-pan, Western Australia.
The new purple-pink mineral that has a chemical composition and crystalline structure unlike any of the known 4,000 minerals has been discovered at a mining site researchers report.
