Copper Carbonate

Add .5 to 5% to produce light to dark green tones. The colour itself can vary in a variety of base glazes, most notably in a semi opaque satin it can produce a light blue. It becomes an active melter in some base glazes. If you want colour variation, copper oxide is a better option.
