Salty hail stones from a five minute storm in Europe
Professor Kengott of Zurich reports a hail storm last year lasting five minutes with hailstones tasting salty. Some stones weighed twelve grains and consisted mainly of salt with a white hexagonal crystal form. Crystals were imperfect, suggesting rough surface development and possible transport from Africa by winds over the Mediterranean. Professor Eversman notes hail containing a small crystal of iron sulphide, likely formed when iron sulphide weathered from ice rocks was carried into hail forming clouds.
