IMAGES
We are in the process of trying to get more distinct images from the brine precipitates…specifically, something we could use to guide us in building a 3D model of a NaCL crystal, or cluster of crystals.

The first goal would be to determine the geometry of an individual crystal (reflected in the lattice of the atomic structure?).
Here are two short videos showing the actual formation of salt crystals at the atomic level:
