I figured out 15 years ago that the color of cuprea was light dependent but people just did not want to believe that. We used to have some rather colorful conversations about it on older forums. Some people believe that there is a distinct silver form, a green form, and a red form. But the silver one will go through green to blush red if given high intensity light, which has led me to believe that they are actually all the same
