Copper Sulphate Crystal

Today I have decided to end my crystal growing project with H and Tbone.

I had ordered 5KG of Copper Sulphate some 7 or so years ago and never got round to growing anything more than a very small seed crystal, mainly because the boys lost interest very quickly!!

But over the summer holiday i decided to give it another try. This time i spent just over 2 weeks on it, ending up with me using all 10kg of copper sulphate and running out of containers big enough to put it in.

I don’t have a laboratory in my house and it gets to a point where heating up 10 plus litres of copper sulphate solution takes far too long and becomes very complicated.

So 10KG / £60 of copper sulphate later, we have ourselves a 4KG crystal to show off – as you can see below.
