How To Grow Copper Acetate Monohydrate Crystals

Here's How:

1. Dissolve 20 grams of copper acetate monohydrate in 200 ml of hot distilled water.
2. If there is a scum of undissolved material, stir in a couple of drops of acetic acid.
3. Cover the solution with a paper towel or coffer filter and allow it to cool in an undisturbed location.
4. Blue-green crystals should start to spontaneously deposit within a couple of days. You can allow them to grow or can select one small crystal to use as a seed crystal to grow a larger single crystal.

What You Need:

• copper acetate monohydrate
• hot distilled water
• acetic acid (if necessary)
