Evidence
"the latter shows the characteristic bands of atacamite at 974, 911, 513, 149, 122 cm−1 (Fig. 9h)."
Remarks
Atacamite was identified in the inner green frame of the unwan of the Layla we Majnun manuscript (p. 26). This green copper pigment is chemically distinct from the malachite/indigo mixture used for green flowers in the same manuscript (p. 26).
