Iodine
Iodine on heating gives off dense purple vapor.
Black/dark grey
yes lithium does have luster it is metalic
Metal, 1) its silvery (shiny) and it is a solid, and all metals are solids, with one exceptiuon mercury. Remember that a few metals are not silvery such as copper, gold. And some metals are soft, such as sodium, gallium, indium, potassium.
The density of iodine at room temperature is 4,933 g/cm3. As a gas iodine is approx. violet or purple, as solid very brown.
The element described is likely iodine. Iodine is a shiny nonmetal that sublimes into purple vapors when heated.

It could be dull or shiny. It doesn't matter.
a nonmetal because a metal is shiny and strong so a nonmetal is brittle and dull
the color of a shiny lampent is orange instead of purple
They are red and shiny.
a green ekans is shiny because a regular ekans is a light purple.
You think to iodine.
I only know of the original color and the black (shiny) one... I don't think there's a purple.
Iodine is a nonmetal element with the symbol I and atomic number 53. It is a shiny, purple-black solid at room temperature that easily sublimes into a purple gas. Iodine is soluble in alcohol and some organic solvents. It is commonly used in medicine, photography, and as a dietary supplement. Iodine deficiency can lead to thyroid problems and other health issues.
A waxy luster gives minerals a shiny appearance.
Iodine ------------------------------------------- The element you describe sounds like iodine, a good test to make sure that it is iodine is to see if the substance sublimes. This means a solid sample of iodine will turn straight from a solid into a gas with no liquid stage.
