Hey yo Ty, The color comes from the ion emission spectra, so you can use any of these. boric acid (boron comps), borax (boron comps), copper sulfate (copper(II) comps), However, other chemicals will make green flames: thallium comps, antimony comps, barium comps, manganese (II) comps, molybdenum comps, ammonium comps, phosphates moistened with sulfuric acid. If you add any of these chemicals to a fire, you'll get green flames.
Anonymous said:There's a few chemicals that can turn fire green, sodium borate, boric acid and various copper compounds, or even just a bit of copper in a flame can work, afaik there's not much difference aside from colour (though burning copper wire can produce toxic gases) and you can get shades from yellow-green to teal. (on a slight tangent while looking this up I found some cool youtube vids about 'painting' copper with fire, the effects are absolutely stunning)
AH this is for Garsend’s fire right? Thank you both for your help!!I knew I could’ve found out from a simple google search, but you both saved my lazy ass and gave me a jumping off point to do more research so I love you both, mwah <3333
