Here is a slab of an interesting piece of rough I have. The color is a little more purple in real life than what the picture shows. I like it because you don't see all that many purple rocks. If anyone knows what it is, shout it out! IMG_4670_zpsfvrfnzlj by Shiny Objects, on Flickr

Other than vinegar, I don't have any acids around, but I don't think vinegar would do much. I don't know the origin, unfortunately. I got this in a large lot of misc rough. As for the color, I looked around the internet and the html code color #cc66cc is pretty close. Go to www.color-hex.com/color/cc66cc to see it. Some areas are darker, more towards purple, some are lighter leaning more towards pinkish.
