Chinese creedite is not exactly new, but good purplish examples are quite rare, with virtually all being white or stained by iron oxide.  I came across a group of pieces with good color, and selected the best few, this is one of them.  Purple is perhaps the most sought after color for the species, with the best known examples having been found quite a while ago in Kazakhstan, Mexico (old pieces from Santa Eualia, not the mine that produces the orange wholesale stuff) and Nevada in the USA.
