so i am letting one of my salt-humidity batches bath in some heat. not boiling but few bubbles here and there. this time however, i notice something different. normally all the salt finds its way to the bottom of the container while the water floats above it. not so this time. the salt is all on the top forming a layer. this layer was about 5/16 thick and after a while of heat it has shrunk to about a 1/8 inch. but still floating above the water. there are small particles of salt circulating around the bottle but non seems to be sinking to the bottom now. has anyone else noticed this? my understanding is the salt will dissolve in water normally and if too much is added, will sink to the bottom. and previous attempts have shown this.

whats more is the salt layer on top does not quite look like salt in the past that sunk to bottom. looks more like a salt foam mixture. like the bubbles are all catching on this layer and chilling out. collecting. again, i know nothing. but just watching and making observations. any thoughts, inputs, sarcasm. all welcomed Razz

As far as I'm aware you're the only person who got anything interesting from sea salt. The best I ever got was identical to ordnary salt but amplified psychic abilities especially dreams it had slight physical benifits as well.

from spagyric medicine in rams

Take some of our sea water. It must be healthy and clean. Take 40 measures (quarts) . leave it for a whole month in a dark heat, so that it can properly putrefy . The longer it stays thus, the more spirit it will give. Then distill it in ash, and a spirit strong as fire will come out of it. This spirit must be well rectified and poured back on the black mass that is left behind, then distilled by degrees. Now a beautiful crystalline salt will rise to the head. rectify it and preserve it well, lest it fly away. Calcine the body that is left till it is brown. Then extract from it its fixed white salt with its phlegm. Distill a spirit from this same salt into which you must pour, drop by drop, the first volatile spirit turned into water, which will cause it to roar strongly. Now remove the phlegm form it, gently, in the BM. At the bottom of the vessel a white gum will be left, which enclose in the Philosophers egg and cook in a steam bath until it congeals into a stone of transparent ruby colour. This, with 6 to 12 grains will cure all inner and outer diseases...'

No doubt about it that's another GW path albeit not a very clear one.

i am not sure. the way i see it is the GW path is more of the animal kingdom not vegetable, nor mineral.

The part of the GW that you save is a compound of water soluble vital minerals. Although it comes from animals it is more mineral than any other kingdom.

Since all forms of life on the planet are dependent on minerals and water for survival this salt is extremely beneficial to all forms of life plant,animal,and mineral.

Technically fire is alive but it doesn't seem to be benefited by water or minerals.
