try to play with the temperature of your solvent before re-x ing your impure spice next time. try to cool the solvent in the fridge or in an ice bath for some time, then dissolve the spice.
I use coleman fuel. I let cool down the solvent, covered with tinfoil, and as it was starting to cool down, crystals were starting to form. So room temperature and below won't hold the spice. Now i poked a hole in the tinfoil and letting the solvent evaporate, so i will get crystals. I guess although the spice was slightly coloured, it didn't contain impurities? This is something dmt nexus wiki page says:
'(Optional) Recrystallize from Hot Solvent:
This will help to reduce impurities and give the product a more sharply defined melting point, but it won’t do much to reduce discoloration unless combined with activated charcoal'.
So just discolorated maybe?
Edit: Some activated charcoal did the trick.
