Does this look like DMT?

[cinderblock]

I finally finished everything and freeze precipitated. This is what it looks like after 12 hours. It's hard to see from the photos, but the white circles are pointed up like a chocolate chip. I notice other people's DMT crystals look like maces or spikey. But this just looks like round droplets with it pointing up.

Usually that's not how it looks.. But either way this is relevant.

What was it extracted from, how, etc. ?

Yes, I've read that color guide before, thanks, it's very helpful.

I pretty much followed EW's tek with the mini-AB. And at the end I did a sodium carb wash.

Yeah, I figured this isn't what DMT looks like from the pictures I've seen? But then what's the white stuff? Maybe I need to pour out the naphtha and let it dry?

Also, my freezer is pretty damn strong.

wait when it's dry and then see again, i'm not expert at all but mine was like these withe spot but like snowflake and was crystals, this effect to me is when i leave some water in the naptha and maybe can be water and sodium carb residue, but i don't see anything that can be dmt, for my noob point of view, how is the smell ?

So should I go ahead and dry it? I just stuck it back in the freezer with the naphtha still in it and everything.

That does make sense that it could be water/sodium carb residue. I'm sure there's some residue of it in there. I figured the sodium carb wasn't that bad, and water would melt/evap during the drying part.

Should I melt it and stick it back in the freezer? Kinda concerned now. Maybe naphtha got trapped in the crystals due to complications?

Sorry i don't know all this thing and maybe it's better that you wait someone more expert than me, but if you leave from the freeze and puor off naptha (but don't trow away) and let the dish to fully evaporate/dry, then scrape and smell, photo, etc etc...nothing wrong, you can allways redissolve in the neptha and repat again the crystallization...i think.

Then, as i asked recently for harmala freebase and trace of sodium, you can take a little of this powder and see if dissolve in water (mix and leave to decant), dmt fb don't dissolve in water, sodium dissolve in water.

Or like the eco tek take this pownder and dissolve in acetone (mix/decant), discard what don't dissolve and keep the liquid and evaporate.

But i repeat, i'm not expert, only some tek and some experiment.
Bye

I tried evaporating, and it started to look a lot like the photos I've seen. Like white powder sprinkles. Came back to it an hour later, and I hardly see any solid whites. There's some naphtha rolling around (I think it's naptha... maybe it's the sodium carb/water since it's taking forever to evap). Theoretically, if there's DMT in any remaining liquids, it should crystalize as it evaps.

I guess we'll see. If not, I have no idea where I went wrong. The only thing I didn't do was the heat baths.

What tek did you use ? the acid baths needs for some tek and less for others, can be also the material that it's not good or something wrong in the extraction step, basifitacion enought ? the right solvent ?
If you have keep the start material i think you can try again.
