First riddle (this one): tiberium - the Tiberium crystal from the Command & Conquer Tiberium universe https://cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Tiberium. It can be green or blue, and it's highly toxic.
Second riddle: kobe/koube - both work - https://myanimelist.net/character/134257/Shio_Koube. Her name is "Salt" in Japanese but she's the opposite of that (sweet, so "sugar"), Happy Sugar Life is on the first page when you google "Who is salt but actually sugar? (hint: related to anime)". The whole anime is kind of centered on this word play between Satou and Shio being the opposite of their names.

I glow with a hue, both green and blue, From another world, some say it's true. In games I'm sought, for power I'm bought, Yet touch me not, or harm be wrought.
I'm not a gem, though shine like them, In fields and mines, I'm the stem. What am I, this radiant bloom? Speak my name, or meet your doom.
