Help me identify substance in my extraction.

This naptha came out of the freezer and warmed up. My first thought was maybe it's water but it hadn't been in the freezer for a longer than 2 hours. It did precipitate quite a bunch before I stuck it in there. But my question is, is that quite possibly what I think it is?

Can anybody clarify if whether or not the spirit molecule shows up like this, I know it starts to crystallize from the bottom but I could just be retarded. This is after the extraction btw, with MHRB.

just looks like water. though when dmt oils out its hard to tell by appearance. DMT oil will have a consistency between runny honey and, glassy bitumen tar. give it a poke and see if it is gooey or not. something else may be present preventing it from crystalizing. you also may have concentrated it too much then crashed it all out too fast, if it was totally milky, not just when blown on, then something other than DMT could have also aggressively precipitated, which you dont want, you only want the dmt to precipitate, ideally as an additional lattice on crystals, making bigger crystals. decant your naptha and boil it down more, and refreeze. let this oil evaporate to dryness.
 
If it's naphtha and it's not cold, it's very unlikely to be DMT. DMT freebase dissolves well in naphtha. It's very likely water.
Not only that, at fridge temperatures it's quite likely to be solid. @drpotato's question regarding the viscocity of the oily/liquid-looking material is of the highest pertinence here. Oiled out DMT, possibly mixed with NMT? Maybe. Water? Highly likely.

Another thing to do would be to pour off the naphtha into a fresh container and return it to the freezer. The droplets can then be examined more closely and tested regarding their chemical identity. There are a few classic tests for water, and there are presumptive reagent tests for things like DMT. In both cases, you'll need the suitable reagents.
 
your dmt shouldnt be dissolving just because it reached room temperature. liquify, maybe, but not totally dissolve. your naptha should be almost saturated at close to room temp before freezing, crystals dont grow much except under supersaturation. before you froze it, could you make it turn a little milky by blowing on it? freezing unsaturated naptha works too, aside from gunk that is less soluble than dmt, more dilution should give cleaner precipitate, but, less.

anyway water is an easy spot; does it move when swirled. or just poke it,
