Field CollectingGreen Minerals

Anyhow I am looking for a list of nice Green minerals, if asked why green minerals my response is.... I like green( my favorite color) but more so because at our show in October we have display boxes and i am going to set up two of them. One of them will be nothing but Green minerals of any type and variety. The other will be filled with what ever our show theme is which at the moment i dont remember. So back to the first one any help with a list of green minerals would be great if i can collect them that would be awesome but being from Indiana Ill be buying them. Just remember im not buying $15000 minerals if i pay 200 or 300 that's not bad. I want to impress with the color green.
Torbernite from Shinkolobwe Mine, Shinkolobwe, Katanga Democratic Republic of Congo
Heulandite with Celadonite inclusions from Savada Jalgaon District Maharashtra, India

the "advanced search" feature on Mindat can give you a list of all green minerals (http://www.mindat.org/advanced_search.php)
You can add other filters to limit the number of possibilities (the list of "green IMA approved species" alone gives you 44 pages of species to choose from.)

It seems like a very interesting approach to a collection. As many of the others already have stated, there are many relatively common green minerals. It might be interesting to find minerals with different chromophores, such as
copper: malachite, dioptase etc.
iron: diopside, actinolite, prehnite etc.
uranium. tobernite etc
chromium: uvarovite etc.
inclusions, such as your heulandite
or a combination of more than one chromophore, such as common green beryl (Fe) and emerald ( Cr)

A few more that I see sitting in my display case next to the computer:
annabergite, gormanite, ludlamite, fluorapatite, pyromorphite, fluorite
(You may need more than 1 case to hold them all !!)
Cheers,

bowenite, Rhode Island state mineral. I'll send you one if you send me your address...What's left of the quarry only has very pale versions but a nice photo in the mindat pages of an apple green one which is best color.
