Izinto ezibalulekile emakamelweni okwelapha usawoti yizitini zikasawoti. Ngakho-ke yiziphi izingxenye eziyinhloko zezitini zikasawoti? Ukwakheka kwezitini zikasawoti:

Ingxenye eyinhloko yezitini zikasawoti yitshe likasawoti eliyikristalu elakhiwe ngokucindezelwa koqweqwe lwe-geological, kanti ingxenye yalo eyinhloko usawoti. Wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi usawoti ungase unciphe ezindaweni ezinomswakama nezikhethekile, ezaziwa kakhulu ngokuthi “usawoti”. Izitini zikasawoti zikhipha ama-ion angalungile anenzuzo kulokhu kuncipha.

Izitini zikasawoti egumbini lokwelapha usawoti ziyashiswa futhi zimunca umswakama emoyeni njalo ngaphambi kokuba zihwamuke. Phakathi nale nqubo ephindaphindwayo, ama-molecule kasawoti namanzi aqhubeka exubana, encibilika, futhi ahwamuke, ekugcineni akhiqize ama-ion angalungile. Le nqubo ingakhiqizwa kuphela ngetshe lemvelo likasawoti wekristalu.

Izici zetshe likasawoti wekristalu:
Njengoba icebile ngamaminerali amaningi abalulekile kanye nezinto ezilandelanayo emzimbeni womuntu, usawoti wekristalu waseHimalaya uqukethe i-sodium fluoride engaphezu kuka-98%, kanti ezinye izinto zifaka insimbi, i-calcium, i-magnesium, i-potassium, i-aluminium, i-zinc, i-gallium, i-silicon, kanye nezinye eziningi zamaminerali abalulekile emzimbeni womuntu. Ngempela “yinkosi kasawoti”.

Inesakhiwo sekristalu esiphelele futhi iqukethe amandla anamandla. Ngemva kwezigidigidi zeminyaka yokucindezelwa, iveza isakhiwo sekristalu esiphelele. Amanzi akhipha amandla awo amakhulu, avumela umzimba womuntu ukuthi uthole ibhalansi yamandla nokululama, uphumule imizwa, ukhulule ukukhathala, futhi ukhuthaze ukugaywa komzimba.

Ukusebenza kahle kwezitini zikasawoti wekristalu:
Ama-ion angemihle aguquguqukayo, umoya omusha, aqeda ukukhathala. Ukuhlolwa kubonise ukuthi amabhlogo kasawoti wekristalu angakhipha ama-ion angemihle ngemva kokushiswa, okuyivithamini yomoya engathuthukisa ngempumelelo ikhwalithi yomoya, ilawule ukucindezeleka, futhi izwakale sengathi ijabulela ukugeza okusha ehlathini.

Ukuhlanza isikhumba ngosawoti nokulwa nokuvuvukala kanye nokulwa namagciwane. Kwaziwa kahle ukuthi usawoti unemiphumela yokulwa nokuvuvukala kanye nokubulala amagciwane, njengoba kusho isisho esithi, “fafaza usawoti enxebeni.”. Ukugeza ngosawoti izinsuku ezintathu kungasusa ukungcola esikhumbeni ngempumelelo futhi kuhlanze isisu.

Ifilimu yokuvikela isikhumba yemvelo evala umswakama ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi usawoti wekristalu umboza ungqimba lwesikhumba ngefilimu futhi uvale umswakama, wakhe ifilimu yokuvikela yemvelo esikhumbeni. Ngemva kokugeza, isikhumba siba bushelelezi futhi sinwebeka ngendlela emangalisayo. Ukusetshenziswa njalo kungenza isikhumba somzimba wonke sibe sisha, sithambile, futhi sicwebezele!
