recrystallizes
Forms new crystals
Recrystallizes means to form crystals again after dissolution or melting.
In chemistry, recrystallization purifies compounds by dissolving them in hot solvent and allowing slow cooling: The compound recrystallizes as the solution cools.
Metals recrystallize when heated, forming new grain structures.
Honey recrystallizes on the shelf, returning from liquid to its granular state.
