This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It could be copper, barium, and/or boron, as all of these burn green. Copper tends to be more blue green, with copper chloride burning an emerald green. Barium is often a pale green and a boron flame will have a green hue as well.
Thanks! That's interesting to know!
