It is required to you
- - powder of copper vitriol,
- - small can,

- - hot water.
Instruction
1. You can make beautiful mineral of two flowers - blue or transparent-white. For production of mineral of blue color you need copper vitriol, and for transparent-white - table salt. Powder of copper vitriol can be bought almost in each shop where fertilizers are on sale. It is necessary to get 100 grams. As much it is necessary to take also table salt.
2. Now find to bank of the small sizes. If you do a crystal of copper vitriol, then it is the best of all for bank to throw out then as copper vitriol is a deadly poison. Fill to bank with hot water. Now it is necessary to take thread. Tie one its end to some stick which length has to exceed diameter banks that it was possible to put a stick on edges banks so that thread was shipped in water. Select large grains of copper vitriol and bind them on thread. Pour out other grains in bank with hot water and carefully stir. Consider that solution has to turn out oversaturated, only then you will be able to grow up mineral. If you decided to use salt, then it needs just to be poured out in bank with water and to stir carefully. It is necessary to receive also oversaturated solution.
3. Lower thread in bank and remove to bank to the place where children will not be able to reach it. Over time at loss of a deposit mineral will begin to grow. If you used vitriol, then its grains tied to thread will begin to grow. If you used table salt, then the crystal will be directly formed on thread. The crystal can grow unlimited number of time. Therefore daily you watch the crystal sizes.
4. Remember that it is necessary to get every day from banks thread, to heat water, to mix it and to back lower a crystal in bank.
