Recipe Details

Ingredients

Cu2CO3(OH)2

Evidence

"the green pigment was Cu based and it is probably malachite (Cu2CO3(OH)2)"

Remarks

The green ink in Manuscript 1 showed the existence of two major elements, Cu and Pb. The Cu is the main component of the malachite pigment, while the lead is suspected to be fluorescence from the red pigment on the backside of the page (p. 4, Section 3.1).
