Hello Histo Peeps - What are the clear crystals that form in Hematoxylin?  We 
use Richard-Allen 7211.  We love the stain, but occasionally, when a bottle has 
been previously opened, we find clear crystalline precipitate forming in the 
bottom.  Today, we had a huge one (over an 2" in greatest diameter) that was 
quite beautiful.  It had a few occlusions of purple streaks, but otherwise was 
clear.  Doesn't seem to affect the stain, so I was just curious.
Inquisitively yours, Terri
