my GUESS.... is that is what an Ioun Stone turns into when you use a companion upgrade tome.... I am not 100% and it is only a guess... but... to me it makes sense.
I don't think the name of the companion type changes when rarity changes. IE an ioun stone of allure would still be an ioun stone of allure when it changes to a purple. This is based on the green versions of the basic companions when they came with adventurer's help packs for a brief time.
Also, companion upgrade tomes aren't available yet.
I don't think anyone also noticed the text around the top seems off (less white as if cut out) let alone someone pointed out the whole name change thing with companions.

You can rename the Ioun Stone just like any other companion.
But you can't change the name of it's type. An Ioun Stone of Allure will always be listed as an Ioun Stone of Allure on the companion page. So either it is in game or the screenshot is a fake.
It is the EPIC reward for Foundry Authors who achieve (unGodly) ...um, achievements (Moonstar Agent achievement). Very, VERY few have ever received this item, it's really hard to get. Here are the details of it: http://neverwinter.gamepedia.com/Icosahedron_Ioun_Stone

AFAIK there are no purple ioun's yet
Never seen that. I'd love to know how to get one too.

I haven't seen anything on the preview server's latest build that would suggest a new purple companion was added.

That was already determined to be the case.
There was no CTRL-J when the discussion took place.
