I have a few hundred 0,5 - 1mm copper acetate crystals coloured deep blue black in a solution mixed with thousands of very tiny particles of bright
turquoise colour (that are still evapourating after many days). Is the latter expected? I do believe I added enough acetic acid during the process
having taken the advice of many comments on this forum from the past. But I do not know how to recognise hydrolysis in this instance, googling images
turned up nothing in this respect. Thankyou.

I doubt there was a hydrolysis. Copper acetate is bright turquoise when finely divided. This happened when I tried to grow my own copper acetate
crystals. These bits should redissolve easily.
