Sticking my neck out so my betters can hack at it:

Fimbriation is really only permitted on simple ordinaries (if there are
exceptions, they escape me).  So, no fimbriated turtles.  Removing the
fimbriation, of course, leaves you with color on color (with poor contrast,
I might add) and so.

Some ideas, if you're sold on a sable turtle and the use of purpure (insert
borrowed tmcd rant here about purpure being rare in period) might include
using a metallic field but a purpure peripheral (say, a nice bordure), or
a neutral divided field (one that uses 50/50 of a color and a metal) involving
purpure, or -- no, I can't make myself suggest a fur using purpure.  (Purple
ermine spots, anyone?)

Anyway.  That's more than you asked.  The short answer is "no, that can't
be done, for the above reason(s)."
