Dear student,
Gems of a substance which changed their shading on warming in a shut test tube yet recaptured it after at some point when they were permitted to chill off are copper sulfate or all the more explicitly hydrated copper sulfate. 
 
Its recipe - CCuSO.5H2O 
 
The wonders included is because of the presence of atoms of water of crystallization in the particle. Water of crystallization is the fixed number of water atoms that are available in one equation unit of a salt. At the point when we heat the gems of hydrated copper sulfate this water is eliminated and the salt turns white. However, when it is permitted to chill off in outdoors then it recovers its lost water of crystallization and subsequently recaptures its tone moreover.
Regards,
