Colorful Stone Bench

Copper-bearing rocks in my garden show Chrysocolla and other minerals. They remind me of rocks I've seen at the ASARCO Mine in Sahuarita, Arizona, near Tucson.

My Flicker friend, Flowermanjoe, describes the colors as follows:

Teal is a cyan-green color. It is a combination of blue and green and white mixed with white and is calming and refreshing. Teal and white are a serene pairing that just can't go wrong.
