if naptha is saturated can dmt crystalize in the solvent at room temp.?

Migrated topic.
i seem to have lost the pic so i cant upoad it again.

but as cyb says DMT can definitely precip at room temperature if the solvent is saturated enough.
 
I've seen spice fall out of naphtha whilst pulling a couple of times when it was very saturated and sat too long, the spice formed black/brown rocks which fell back into the basic solution.
 
..naphtha is selective for DMT over NMT..
broad spectrum solvents like xylene pull equal amounts of both..
A. confusa has varying amounts of NMT ranging from very little to 40% of content..

there seems to be a lot more NMT in the Root bark (which is not sold by sustainable suppliers..you are almost certainly using branch bark or, less likely, trunk bark)
 
I've seen it with a 2nd re-x on white spice in heptane. Granted, this was accomplished by using minimal heptane, and it was cloudy (oversaturated) while it was boiling. I just dissolved the dmt in boiling heptane (i am going to throw this in now, be careful if you try this, for obvious reasons), and let it evaporate until it started clouding, then let it cool.

It wasn't just nmt, as i was using heptane, which should be less selective for that, or not solublize it at all (speculative, not scientific).

Theres also people who opt for a long slow evap crystalization instead of leveraging temperature using a warm/cold process to quickly change solubulity/saturation. I've seen some pretty impressive crystals from just leaving saturated naptha or heptane to slow evap at constant temp over a # of days or weeks. IIRC, it doesn't cause the dmt to degrade via oxidation either, as its submerged in a non-polar solvent, and not exposed to oxygen. Light/heat though must be considered.
