Crystallization?

Explanation:

So make a saturated solution of CuSO_4(aq), and slowly cool it. You should be able to grow huge, macroscopic crystals of CuSO_4*5H_2O. Alternatively, layer a concentrated solution of CuSO_4*5H_2O(aq) with ethyl alcohol. You will be able to get beautiful, blue-coloured bricks out.
