How To
To create these crystals, create a saturated solution of magnesium sulfate and water. To do this, add magnesium sulfate to water while being heated on a hot plate. Continue adding magnesium sulfate until no more of the solid will enter the solution. Doing this will ensure a saturated solution has been made. After creating the saturated solution, remove the solution from the hot plate and place in a cool location, like a refrigerator, to allow for crystal formation.
