From 2008 but just in: a cultural history of salt by Jakob Vogel. Any pointers to other cultural histories of substances are very welcome.

There‘s a German dissertation by Wolfgang Hottner, “Kristallisationen: Ästhetik und Poetik des Anorganischen im späten 18. Jahrhundert“ which might be of interest for you ❄️
@ueb_team161 Thanks so much Kim, in the meantime it seems that the dissertation has become a book and it looks totally up my alley ! I may have just ordered a second-hand copy....
