The monohydrate is known as neutral verdigris. The basic acetate is
also known as verdigris. Both are poisonous.

Don't confuse this with the "green rust" which is found on copper
roofs or copper vessels. This also is called verdigris but is a copper
carbonate.

The copper acetate monohydrate is available from lab supply houses.
