desication of Cobalt Sulfate heptahydrate

[D. Jones]

May CoSO4.7H2O be desicated at room temperature without loss of the waters of crystalization? This material is quite hygroscopic, and I need a way to keep the material at its formula weight, without adsorbed atmospheric water.

Is it soluable in alcohol?
