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.

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