Fingerprint Salt
Salt from perspiration is often associated with
organic compounds from the sweat glands. The presence of the
organic compounds results in the skeletal growth of the cubic crystals in this
4-fold symmetry. Salt from sweat during heavy excercise tends to lack
most of the organic compounds and crystallizes in the standard cubic habit.
