DIY Copper Sulphate Crystals

Have you ever dreamed about owning exotic crystals? Now you can grow them at home! First, you’ll need Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate: you can buy it in online  or in a garden shop. We only need about 200-400 grams, depending on how big we want our crystals to grow. Then find a kettle to boil the water in, one container to make the solutions and another one to grow crystals. Lastly, get a spoon to pour Copper Sulphate into water and stir the solution, and a pair of rubber gloves and goggles to keep it safe!

First, boil the water and is boiled, place it a container. Then we add copper sulphate to our still hot water, and we keep on adding it and stirring until it dissolves. We pour our solution (which should be dark blue) into the container we intend to grow our crystals in. Make sure that copper sulphate which has not dissolved stays in the first container, you can use filter paper, or just be careful during pouring solution. Take your crystals out when you feel they are ready (or until they start to touch water level). Finally, make sure to clean (do not use water, it will dissolve them) and dry them.

I wish you good luck, and please share your results in comments!
