Putnisite has unique chemical and structural properties, and does not appear to be related to any of the existing mineralogical families.[2] Crystals are translucent purple, but show distinct pleochroism (from pale purple to pale bluish grey,[3] depending on the angle of observation) and leave pink streaks when rubbed on a flat surface.[3]

Putnisite occurs as small (< 0.5 mm) cube-like crystals in volcanic rock.[2] The mineral formed during the oxidation environment within komatiite to dioritic bodies containing sulfide minerals.[3]
