Traditionally, salt harvesters stopped the drying process well before full crystallisation.
The first stuff to crystallise out is gypsum.
Then the sodium and potassium chlorides (table salt).
Then you have a solution of "bittern" - magnesium sulfates and fluorides. They are very reluctant to crystalize, taste horrible, and not good for you in quantity.
