How to Grow a Copper Sulfate Crystal

il show you how to grow a copper sulfate crystal

1. Copper sulphate and distiled water
2. Breakers and stir glass rods
3. a microwave

1 There are 2 ways i found of making seed crystals . making a solution by heating some disstiled water a bit , and dissolving as much CS (copper sulphate) as you can . add this solution to a petri dish or the bottom of the beaker , and sprinkle some ground up CS and wait a few days for them to grow.

2 second way is the best if you want a cluster add about 50g CS per 100G of water and boil it in the microwave .

Leave a wire suspended inside the beaker but outside the solution, when boiling CS crystals will deposit on the peice of wire

add about enough water to submerge the crystal size you want , per 100G of water add 50g of CS.

boil it into the microwave add more CS until the solution wont take anymore

if you want a spiky cluster strain it into a breaker and rapidly put the wire from step 1 into the solution and skim the top if you want

if you want a single crystal let the solution cool for a few minutes and strain it . it will have way more CS at the bottom you can reuse it after that suspend the seed crystal

with the crystal submerged the cluster will develop in about 1 night after this put the crystal away and boil and strain the solution again, be sure to make it super saturated by adding more CS replace the solution daily

if you want a big singular crystal you do the same thing except waiting the solution to cool down before filtering

nice you got a crystal dont wash it with water if do want coat it in resin or nail polish
