crystallisable

Able to solidify

Crystallisable describes something capable of forming crystals—typically a substance that can solidify into an ordered, repeating molecular structure.

Sugar and salt are crystallisable; they can be dissolved and then reformed into crystals through evaporation or cooling.

The spelling crystallizable is more common in American English.
