Consulting the 'glass shard pictorial' thread and faq, a recrystallization was performed on white powder obtained by gordo tek (modified q21q21 nn-dmt). Naptha was used, and after the heated solvent returned to room temperature there was absolutely no visible separation oils or mass at the bottom, instead nice looking crystals had adhered to the sides and bottom of the shotglass.
The rest of the naptha was decanted into another vessel, freeze precipitated then evaporated. The result of this was the exact same looking white powder that was introduced at the beginning. In the end what was left was 1/4 small clear crystal, and remainder being the white powder
Can anyone explain why these results were so much different than what its generally reported? Also what should be done to more effectively convert more of the batch in the future?

Possible there was no re-x needed on that product hence no sludge at the bottom. My best guess.

Have you done it because of possible hydroxide contamination? If yes, re-x is not the best separation method. Otherwise there is no point in re-x'ing pure (white) dmt. Acceptance of the fact that our reality is not real doesn't in fact mean it is not real. It just leads to better understanding what real means.

I also agree the source material was already pure enough hence no oil separation.
I experience noticeable oil separation only when concentrating the NPS extract too much (say to 1/4 volume instead of 1/2). However, after re-x virtually all the oils are gone.

1/4 of the product was much clearer and larger shard like crystals after the re-x though (as opposed to the fine granular white powder), the goal would be to create more like this. What would be the best approach to achieve this more successfully in this situation?
@pete666 - there is a high likelihood that the issue youre talking about from my other thread is actually water contamination through further analysis of the process. This should be known for sure whether or not it is on the next run.

check thisthere is more information here on Nexus, just search Generally slow evaporation of saturated solution with seed crystal is the way Acceptance of the fact that our reality is not real doesn't in fact mean it is not real. It just leads to better understanding what real means.
