Verdigris

 ver·di·gris

/ˈvərdəˌɡrēs,ˈvərdəˌɡrē/
noun
  1. a bright bluish-green encrustation or patina formed on copper or brass by atmospheric oxidation, consisting of basic copper carbonate.

I've been fascinated by verdigris patina for years.  I'm careful creating my own, as it is considered toxic.  My plan was to use it as a pigment when making my own paint.  This hasn't happened yet, but it's on my list!
