Proceeding from the fact that the little drawings of plants are like drawings of plants herbal section, I think that the blue cube is part of the root (cube) of sunflower f53r.
Why is he blue? I think because of the oxidation of the chemical elements in the same way as turning blue the slices mushrooms: the moss (моховик), cap boletus.
Yes, it's possible that it's plant sap or some mineral. There were quite a few resins (some of which roughly resemble cubes) and a few minerals represented in de Materia Medica and others. There are also some specifically represented as cubes as they are crystalline in nature.
Alchemical mercury was also sometimes represented as cubes and the blue could symbolize celestial origin.
