Potassium Zinc Sulfate

Formula: K2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O Potassium Zinc Sulfate

Potassium twin of ammonium zinc sulfate, visually indistinguishable from it. I suspect that precise measurement could reveal some subtle differences in angles between faces, but for the naked eye these compounds look the same. Similarly, baking soda can be used to improve crystal quality (see "Growing" section).
