Ferrosulphate

Hi, good day everybody. Right now I have some problem with my ferrosulphate. The color of my ferrosulphate has already changed to brown. Ferrosulphate should be green color. Does anyone have any idea for me to make the color change to green?
Thanks.

Well, from google, the MSDS says:

Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage. Looses water in dry air and oxidizes upon exposure to moisture, forming a brown coating of extremely corrosive basic ferric sulfate.


Were you storing it in a non-closed container of some sort (thus allowing it to become oxidizied)?
