This souvenir shows the spectrum of melachite-like greens present at the barren mining site on a mountain range that was spray painted in Yuhan, China. Gras researched the quite illogical and unnatural colour, which was used in order to mimic the presence of vegetation. The card can be send to wish someone prosperity, as the colour green is believed to deliver health and wealth.
