Carbon (C) in plasma

Carbon burns green. The ring is dominated by the C2 Swan bands, the same molecular emission that colours the inner cone of a candle flame. The brown plumes drifting through the vessel are carbon particles carried along by convection, which turns the invisible gas flow into something you can watch.

Yellow glow comes from heated carbon microparticles, while green ambience are signature Swan Bands of C2 dimer. The flame effect remains stable over time (taken that carbon was preprocessed properly)
