Just had a chat with my father the geologist. Was completely nonplussed. Says those kind of salty formations are pretty common. Says underground those crystals associated with a seep through a salty formation can become very large. Warns that it is probably not "sea salt." Probably Epsom salts and other less nice salts. Arsenic, antimony, and other heavy metal are also very common. Licking them might not be a good idea. Arsenic salts for example might taste good and when in solution are weak acids corroding things. Antimony salts might have a distinct metallic taste and would have lots of free chlorine ions floating about for your SCC. Keep in mind heavy metals accumulate in your fatty bits. Yum!
