Thank you all for the interesting comments and information about bubbles behavior and dancing droplets! Unfortunately, for now, I won´t be able to further investigate the process (by reproducing the crystallization setup under a camera as suggested by Philippe Dumas), but I will keep this in

May be, I do co-relate your crystal pic with Manu Prakash at Stanford on his work on Dancing Droplets, briefing the surface tension and evaporation ^ the rule of two component fluids. # Since your precipitant contain PVP a shape controlling agent

Artem (and Beatriz), Me bad, could have thought about that! I think you are right. There were initially bubbles in each drop (7 in one case, 4 in the other). At some point the bubbles exploded (it was an instantaneous process, not just shrinking). Kind regards, Sergei Prof. Sergei V.
