It's green because it's CCA treated.

yep...knew it wouldn't be too long before someone answered correctly...
bonus question: what does CCA stand for? (no cheating with google!)

Sorry to be a nerd pro, but if you are going to put it that way it is arsenate,
not arsenite.

it could be a polymorph of arsenic, and still be an "ite".
but i doubt it's pertrified......so
