When you see violet, it is absorbing red. You see the complement of what is being absorbed (I.E. directly across the color wheel). I am surprised you did not see the yellow, orange and so forth though.
Of course the other possibility, although quite unlikely, is that you go some of the bacteria that convert silver to gold in there. If so, then save the stuff, you could turn that into a highly profitable operation. That this is possible is not accepted by most scientists, although there is good evidence it does happen under certain circumstances.
