       A few weeks ago I put some pure Sodium Chloride in a beaker with de-ionised water to dissolve,  then pured in to a small glass bowl and lkeft it to evaporate.All the water has now gone,  so I examined the resulting crystals under my USB Microscope. I think they turned out OK, well some did.

       @freemo I can try with other stuff e.g Copper Sulfate.  Salt is nice as it is safe, so kids can repeat the experiment.

       @zleap @freemo What does regular salt look like, in comparison?

       @freemo Cool,  is that as is, or did you need to dissolve then evaporate ?

       @freemo @davoloid Some table salt also contains Sodium Ferrocyanide (anti caking agent).  So I ordered some pure Sodium Chloride from a supplier (Better equipped) who I have bought lots of stuff from, beakers, flasks, etc.
