Hi Pam,

    The crystals are mostly Sparex #2. 

    When you mixed the Sparex & water initially you made a saturated
    solution. As some of the water evaporated the solution became super
    saturated & couldn't hold all the sparex in solution any longer. As
    a result the Sparex returned to it's solid state. All that you have
    to do to get rid of the crystals is to add enough water to dissolve
    the crystals. They'll work just as good as new. 

Dave
