Hey mate, I just did my first ever extraction on ACRB using the same tek and ran into a very similar issue. I am by no means experienced, but have done a lot of reading and with the help of a few forum members was able to yield pretty much pure white fluffy spice.
After my first freeze precip I dumped the naptha and propped my dish against a wall so the fan was blowing directly into the dish (on high). Underneath my crystals was a translucent layer of goo (which became stickier the longer I dried it), for the first hour the crystals on the bottom of the dish looked like the ones you posted in the pic (starting to re-dissolve into the goo). After leaving in front of the fan for 4-5 hours the goo thickened up a lot and the crystals became much more pronounced. At this stage I scraped it as best I could, leaving me with slightly yellowy/beige lumps of crystalline wax. I then did a re-x on the wax leaving a thick yellow oil in the bottom of my container, mind you this goo looked 100% translucent in the precip dish just as yours does. When I did my second freeze precip I was left with fluffy white crystals with a couple of small lumps caused by a tiny ammount of this residual plant fat/nmt/whatever.
I seriously doubt this is caused by moisture if it is the same issue I ran into. These impurities must be removed and simply re-dissolving and precipitating will end in the same result.
Anyways best of luck buddy, I hope this is helpfull Big grin

β€œThere is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli
