    Aspial is apparently using some kind of patented high tech alloy
    manufacturing process that supposedly makes its purple gold
    workable. They are also using one or more metals in addition to
    aluminum in their alloy. The color that is shown on the website is
    not as intense as the purple gold I have seen before in person but
    that may be an artifact of the web/photoshop process or it may be as
    saturated a color as Aspial's alloy develops. I too would like to see
    it in person but not enough to purchase it.
