I wonder if this GV was made correctly. In pure state it is a greenish powder, only in dilution it becomes violet. In strong dilution (meaning a high % of GV) it will still look green.

Question: Have any of you all seen a color change reation with gentian
violet when you've used it? A fellow staff member was paining a mom's
nipples with it and within seconds it turned an electric green where it
had been applied to her areolas.... Any ideas?
