The hexahydrate water structure has a net -1 charge because the shape has pushed out a hydrogen ion (positive charge) backwards into the bulk water (which has more positive
charges) and also contains hydronium ions (H3O). The hexahydrate structures can thus line up in tighter more intimate planar layers along EZ zones of negatively charged water, sliding over one another with a slight grip,
but still fluid.
This separation of charges is why magnesium chloride in solution feels "slippery". It is similar to a gel and is often called "magnesium oil", but it's not a plant oil.
Rather, it's highly structured water molecules pulled together by the magnesium ions. If the solution keeps getting dehydrated, rigid crystal salt flakes form with an expanded volume as in ice.

Biology requires magnesium chloride salts to be in water solution for best use. It's all about how magnesium makes water behave in cells. In plants magnesium is at the centre of the chlorophyll molecule; the green pigment that plants use to convert sunlight energy into starches. The process of photosynthesis is dependent on the presence of magnesium and water, as is the life of all organisms.

A lack of magnesium will impede mitochondrial function. That means it lowers energy, cell voltage and metabolism. Every system in the body is dependent on the Magnesium-ATP energy currency (tiny batteries) to drive metabolism and enzyme activity for many processes including detoxification, generation of new cells, heart
rhythm, brain function and muscle contraction. ATP is a complex made up of adenosine and ribose attached to three phosphate molecules held together by
magnesium ions. When an ATP discharges energy, it loses a phosphate and becomes ADP (adenosine diphosphate)—a "discharged battery". It then gets taken
back to the mitochondria for recharging back to ATP. As we push and stress the body mitochondria are triggered to make more ATPs. If the little "mighties" can't keep up with demand the body can draw from the
stored "ATP batteries" of the cell membrane.
Magnesium has the ability to "squeeze"
water molecules within its hydration shell.
The process of water structuring to form crystal matrices(ice), with the preceding state being like a "liquid crystal"
fluid comprising more tightly stacked water molecules
lining up in an "exclusion zone".
