Green can indicate the presence of copper.

Or the presence of a little package containing some chemicals that are supposed to create a colorful display. The four year old got a few for Christmas to use in the outdoor fire pit, but couldn't wait. It only made green, not a rainbow of colors. I don't know if putting it on coal instead of wood made any difference.

I'ld say "cool picture", but it would be false. (Lots of heat from those coals). But it is definitely different.
Nice job on capturing the flames. I'm still struggling with that one.

Those of us who burn coal will ALWAYS be "the enemy" to The Liar-In-Chief Obama and his surrogates at the EPA!

Presence of copper.. hmmm.. my coal has gold hues in it. I wonder if I should run the ash thru a slurry and see what settles out... lol

The salts of various metals burn with unique colors.
