    Purpurite, natural MnPO 4. The anhydrous form has an olivine structure and naturally occurs as the mineral purpurite.The monohydrate has a monoclinic structure, similar to that of magnesium sulfate monohydrate, but has distortions at the octahederal manganese center due to the Jahn-Teller effect.
