23. Tyrian Purple
Tyrian Purple was first produced by the Ancient Phoenicians in the city of Tyre.
Currently Tyre is the fourth largest city in Lebenon, and a popular tourist destination.
Tyrian Purple is produced by a fresh mucous secretion of a small sea snale called murex. The exact species is spiny dye-murex.
Tyrian Purple was, and still is, very expensive. In Ancient Rome, to buy Tyrian Purple cost its weight in silver.
Approximately 60,000 murex animals were required to make one pound of Tyrian Purple.
The Ancient Roman naturalist Pliny describes the steps in process of manufacturing Tyrian Purple:
Murex were caught in baskets lowered into the sea at the end of long ropes. Frogs or mussels were used as bait.
The murex were pulled from their shells, and the vein containing the pigment was extracted.
The pigment was mixed with salt and repeatedly heated in vats to separate water from the pigment. The whole process took about ten days.
Due to the large number of decaying murex bodies, the process generated considerable stench.
Actually looks more like maroon than purple. Some languages translate its color as scarlet.
Today, murex can still be found off the coast of Tyre, but it is rare.
In the 1800s, processes chemists invented synthetic purple dyes that were much cheaper than murex, so Tyrian Purple is no longer available.
