I will try and summarize what occurred as best I can in an effort to seek information on what has happened. I had two batches of gorgeous crystal. Small clear, perfect shards. Decided to try for a diamond finally.
Warmed Solvent (Bestine), dissolved spice (one place I may have made a mistake, I put the container in the bath to help dissolve it with a lid), allowed to cool until I saw the yellow oil precip out and decanted off.
Set aside to crystallize in a water bath with foil over the top (second place I may have made a mistake I did not cinch the foil).
Came back to a yellow layer of rock hard paste on the bottom of my container and crystals atop it. Freaked out.
Decided to re-x and check for water contam. Redissolved spice (again warmed to assist especially with that yellow rock). Decanted and removed water bubbles (3 bubbles found)
Set aside to precip.
IT DID IT AGAIN.
"Many of us who have experienced psychedelics feel very much that they are sacred tools. They open spiritual awareness."
"The elimination of the fear of death transforms the individual's way of being in the world." -Stanislav Grof
"My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out."
"Drop Out--detach yourself from the external social drama which is as dehydrated and ersatz as TV. Turn On--find a sacrament which returns you to the temple of God, your own body. Go out of your mind. Get high. Tune In--be reborn. Drop back in to express it. Start a new sequence of behavior that reflects your vision." -Timothy Leary
