N2  - Blue stone (neela thotha, in local terms) is dehydrated copper sulfate and is commonly used as a pesticide, in the leather industry, and in homemade glue. It results in a rare form of poisoning limited to the Asian continent, with a high incidence in India and Sri Lanka prior to the 1980s. Poisoning due to copper sulfate results in multiorgan involvement. Here, we present a case of poisoning due to copper sulfate with acute kidney injury and intravascular hemolysis.
