What about Raurin?

Yes, they are purple, due to the erosion of naturally forming purplish volcanic rocks.
Raurin desert is not all purple if thats what you are asking (plains of purple dust is sometimes considered part of the Raurin).
There is some info on both areas in “The Hoard” boxed set available for free in the classic dowlload section

The Plains are considered the northern region of the Raurin Desert [as noted in Lost Empires of Faerūn].

Purple sand dunes are also found in the Dust Desert.
