Yes, you absolutely can make salt crystals with sea salt.
Growing Salt Crystals with Sea Salt
Based on information regarding salt crystal formation, sea salt works fine as a starting material for growing crystals. Salt crystals are known for their cubic, clear structure and can be grown using various types of edible salt.
Types of edible salts suitable for crystal growing experiments include:
- Table salt
- Iodized salt
- Kosher salt
- Sea salt
This means that if you have sea salt, it is a suitable option for creating your own salt crystals through a process involving dissolving the salt in water and allowing the water to evaporate, leaving the crystalline structures behind. Sea salt, like other edible salts, provides the necessary sodium chloride molecules to form the characteristic cubic salt crystals.
