I’ve never experienced this with my violets.  
When is the last time you fertilized?  
Does it get direct sun or indirect?  
My violets get bright light all day. No sun light at all.

All my other violets are ok… no sunlight. Regular fertilizer.

I’m no expert so please don’t take what I say as a diagnosis but I’ve read a bit on mosaic virus in plants. Maybe it’s a type of virus? Not sure but it is pretty lol

Might be virus or bacteria… internet surprisingly doesn’t have distinct information with pictures… or I was not lucky to find… anyways I separated it from other plants and took a leaf to root just in case 😊 whatever it is - it must be rare since not much people had it…
