@wasd____8 years agoThe 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

@enceladus328 years agoNot 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
