    Way awesome! You can make at least 5X profit! I'm raising my prices.
    I found that adding different stuff makes it crystalize different.
    Try adding a bit of salt and see what happens :)

    You can grow beautiful copper(II) sulfate crystals too.

    1) Dissolve a whole bunch of copper(II) sulfate in slightly warm water until no more will dissolve. (<5* above room temperature)
    2) Pour into a shallow butter dish.
    3) In a few hours to a few days (sometimes a week) you'll have a bunch of small (<2mm) crystals on the bottom. Use a magnifying glass and pick out one that is not joined to another one with something like a razor blade. Don't touch it with your fingers!
    4) Filter the remaining solution and crystals through a coffee filter. Then pour the clean stuff back in butter dish
    5) Replace the crystal.
    6) Check on the crystal about twice every day to see if more tiny crystals are forming around it. If so, repeat steps 3-5.
    7) This can go on for as long as you like, and the longer it happens the bigger the crystal will get.

    In a few weeks you'll have something like this (US quarter size).

    You can also grow crystals of lesser quality in a few days.

    1) Saturate near-boiling water with Cu(II)S.
    2) Pour in mason jar and let sit for a few minutes.
    3) Filter it into another mason jar (coffee filter)
    4) Poke a whole in the mason jar lid and feed a piece of thin string through.
    5) Wet that string and sprinkle some Cu(II)S crystals over it.
    6) Screw on the lid and wait.
    7) Pull it out when you think it's done.

    Remember Cu(II)S is water soluble. Don't clean it with water.
    You can buy copper sulfate at a hardware store. It's sold in big bags as a weed killer.

    Just make sea shell necklaces. Growing decently large Cu(II)SO4 crystals is quite labor intensive.

    Fuck just buy a rack of ribs, eat them, bleach the bones, and make a necklace with them + seashells + feathers. Some idiot will buy it for $30. Then repeat with a $12 profit and a full stomach.
