Hello All,
About a Year Ago I made a batch of Celtic Sea Salt with saturated NaHCO3, I filtered the solution and let it dry slowly on a dark room.

After more weeks pased another group of star crystals start forming on top of the surface and again sunk under they own weight:
The walls of the beaker have growing crystals from the evaporation some of them go even outside the beaker:
