This cannot really be answered simply. quickly and unequivocally, as they each have several uses, and, as you saw from your dictionary, there is much overlap.
Where they are used synonymously, I would suggest that 'pure' tends to mean 'unmixed with other (baser) elements', 'original' implies 'unchanged from its initial form', and 'pristine' indicates 'new and unsullied'.
