I Grew a Giant Copper Sulfate Crystal for 6 Months

I grew this beautiful copper sulfate crystal over 6 months. It's a very common science experiment in schools and science fairs, but growing big, beautiful crystals can be tricky. The key is patience, let the solution evaporate slowly. The slower the crystals grow, the nicer they turn out.
