What can you tell me about the mineral named verdite?

Question

I'd like to know what the chemical formula of this mineral is. Or is it a combination or variety of other minerals? If so, what are they and what are their chemical formulas?
Also, what colors does it come in, and what chemical compounds or elements make it those colors?
Anything else you can tell me is appreciated.

Edit update:

Zest for life are you copying and pasting what I posted? If so that's really really lame.

I'm not just saying it, I had to go to 4/5 web links to find the info and I was shocked to see that you were able to find it all in one page, and then turns out you didn't, the links you provided don't resemble what you posted (it is however an exact copy of what I posted).
