For recrystallization, naptha is added to large shot-glass containing dirty spice.
Mixture is warmed and stirred for 20 minutes, then allowed to sit in a heat-bath for separation.
Mixture is then decanted into a large shotglass.
-At this time, a jelly like substance can be observed sliding out of the shotglass with the solvent. This jelly is clear, or perhaps clearish-yelllow.
A sample of the jelly was left to sit for evaporation. In a reasonable period of time (a few hours) it evaporated and yielded some yellowish spice.

pt.2
The solvent that was decanted, with jelly, is added to the freezer for freeze precipitation.
The freezer fails to freeze out a significant amount of medicine. The mixture has a strange consistency.
The recrystallization ends up being a mostly failed attempt.
This time is the third time in a row that the jelly has appeared.
...........
Recovering from this failure, everything is allowed to evaporate, dry, and is scraped.
Recovery yield is a fair amount of tan and brown dirty spice, along with more yellow spice.
