Lyrium potions are blue.
Lyrium dust back in DAO was red/pink
Lyrium sand looked purple
Lyrium in the fade look like cyan crystals
Lyrium in Meredith's sword look red, and turned her into red lyrium.
The primeval thaig had both red "roots" and blue crystals, i'm not sure which one was lyrium.

So what's lyrium supposed to be?

I'm asking because i want to make lyrium items for a cosplayer friend of mine. I'm going to make it glow in the dark but i'm not sure what lyrium is supposed to be.

Refined lyrium is probably blue as I doubt lyrium potions are just raw lyrium dumped into water and mixed.

I'd say a safe bet is that lyrium is naturally red. The blue ones we see in the primeval thaig are probably concentrated sources or perhaps corrupted sources.

I tend to agree with Atmosfear3. PURE lyrium is red, while refined or altered lyrium is various shades of blue.

How come mages doesn't become addicted to lyrium potions though, while Templars gets addicted to lyrium?

[Gordulan]

Maybe the templars ingest the red lyrium, because the blue lyrium seems to be legal when it comes to the lore.

Nope, in DA2 you find refined lyrium deposits (not sure how that works lol) for crafting.

And they're black with red veins.

I bet that it's similar to quartz in that it can be several different colors depending on it's crystal structure and what other minerals are found in varying amounts in or around it.

SWAG*:  mages are able to correctly process the lyrium in their bodies due to their inate magical nature, while templars are not able to do so, and so they become addicted. 

Another SWAG:  mages are also addicted to the energies of magic, but never realize it because they have a continuous natural feed of said energies and thus never feel any withdrawl.

Thanks guys, i think i'm leaning toward making glowing red lyrium stones/crystals and blue lyrium potions.

Basically a piece of clear plastic with a red light (the batteries are hidden in the black portions), and a test tubes with blue glow stick fluid.
