Big-Kingdom Pillar of the Community United States 1667 Posts	Posted 06/01/2021 5:05 pm Copper(I) oxide or cuprous oxide, also known as Red copper oxide. Copper (II) or or cupric oxide oxide is black. Copper(II) carbonate or cupric carbonate is the green blue color of the statue of liberty. it also manifest this color as Copper (II) carbonate hydroxide. ahhh forget it, someone must of colored it so they could have a "red cent".
