How can water become crystallized?

Okay, so I bought a half gallon of Hot Springs Thermal / mineral water probably 15 years ago from Hot Springs, Arkansas. I have had it sitting in a cupboard since I bought it, I came across it today and there are crystals inside it! What happens to make it do this? Would it be safe to drink still? I’m looking for a science geek because I know that SOMEONE should know the answer lol… it amazes me, it’s really beautiful floating around in the water. They almost look like diamonds in the sunlight… anyway, if you have any clue let me know!
Yeah, it’s contained in a glass jar and vacuum sealed, so it’s unlikely that anything has gotten into it either way. I was going to throw it out, but as interesting as it is, I think I’ll hang on to it and check back in a few years lol!

Place to stay, with mineral baths, at Hot Springs, AR?

What would be the best value, for hotel at a Hot Spring? Downtown or the park OK.
