Emerald Spring

Emerald Spring is a large hot spring found in the Norris Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park.  As the photo of the interpretive sign on the bottom states, sulfur deposits on the sides of Emerald Spring result in a "magnificent emerald green" hue to the spring's waters.  Well, perhaps a hint of a greenish tinge, but to me it looks like more of a cyan (like many other hot springs here) than an "emerald green".
