Hi Terri,
The crystals form during cold winter months, usually during shipping or can
form if the Hematoxylin 7211 is stored in a cold environment. They also form
due to the Mordant being put into solution at it's saturation point.
The crystals have no adverse effect on the stain itself. If
Yes, they can be left overnight in 95% alcohol before staining. We do at times
and have not had any report of altered quality.
