what all that blue is - is it evidence of copper in some form?
Absolutely. Do you remember when CF pours some Ammonia onto Dick's Aqua Regia solution and it goes vivid blue, proving that Dick's ore sample contains copper. The actual blue pool will be a mixture of chemicals, the blue colour will probably be due to the presence of chalcanthite (hydrated copper sulphate).
I would certainly like to get kitted up and see the Levers Water Mine Blue Pool...
I'm not sure about the level of skill and training required to explore the Levers Water mine. The entrance is on the side of a very deep vertically walled chasm. However, it must be accessible otherwise why did CATMHS bother to install a gate? I'll drop CATMHS an e-mail about this and let you know the result.
