Grammatically it does.
Logically, pure is pure. Can something be purer than the other or the purest of all the pure? Is it possible to say: This is pure water. This pure water is purer than that pure water. This pure water is purest.
I don't know.

Yes. You would use it when speaking about a thing that is unadulterated. For example: the silver we sell is the purest available.
There is also another word that sounds the same: purist. For example: He is a steak purist, he never uses any steak sauce.

yes it does--
Sense of "purest essence" (of a situation, character, etc.) is first recorded 1570; quintessential (n.) is from 1899, in this sense.
