Are all azulenes blue? Anyone heard of blue
spikenard? My reference books and distiller documentation describe
spikenard (nardostachys jatamansi, nepal) as a pale yellow to amber
coloured liquid. The principal components are the azulenes gurjunene
(not blue), patchoulene (not blue). So maybe green, brown, amber,
yellow but not blue? To get blue spikenard I think someone has to
'spike' the 'nard' with azulene?
