salt crystal
Tiny flavor rock
A salt crystal is a solid form of salt—typically sodium chloride—in which molecules arrange themselves in a regular, repeating geometric pattern.
Table salt consists of countless tiny salt crystals.
Larger ones form naturally in salt flats or can be grown deliberately: The kids watched salt crystals form on the string suspended in saltwater.
