@wasd____8 years ago The salt acts like flux to strip iron oxide off the cast iron, which makes the salt black when it solidifies. If you had a ceramic crucible and mold, you could probably get it to be clear or white. 3

@adracamas9 years ago Melting point of salt is 1, 474f or 801c depending on your temp measure.
glass has a melting point of 2552f or ~1400c. 2

@Mastapoole9 years ago Great video guys. Very interesting seeing what happens when you melt salt for sure. Keep up the great work. 1
@

@enceladus328 years ago Not sure if someone has already said this, but i think the reason the salt is black is because it' s cooling so rapidly it has no time to form the pretty crystals, and instead just makes some kind of salt obsidian. 2

@michaelhuffman10338 years ago The reddish to purple color is due to using iodized salt. The elemental iodine is

@Metal_Master_YT2 years ago Its black/brown because of iron/rust that got into the salt. It will also turn black if it touchesit absorbs impurities really well, makes it hard to keep clean.

@dreamyrhodes9 years ago You could pull a single crystal out of the salt. You need a small salt crytal and dip it into the molten salt and then pull it up slowly it should form a clean crystal without fractions.

@MsToobz7 years ago Cool. If you melted pure salt (not iodized) it should come out white. Molten salt is very reactive. Tiny impurities (like copper ions) can make it change color.
