salt crystals
Sodium chloride solids
Salt crystals are the solid, geometric formations that result when salt precipitates from solution or evaporates.
Table salt consists of tiny cubic crystals of sodium chloride.
Larger decorative crystals form in salt lamps and mineral specimens.
Salt crystals formed along the edges of the evaporating pool.
