Over this week i've been playing around with my first few recrystallizations & thought i would share the pictures today, nothing that special by what i've seen posted round here previously, but still managed to grow some very clear crystals & also some nice big crystals, i'll try to describe as best what i did when making them...
This was an eyeballed amount of DMT (approx 1g) dissolved in room temp naphtha until it was totally saturated, then placed in the snow for 24 hours:
Pointy star shaped crystals, liked the look of em alot
These next crystals were grown at room temp in covered petri dishes (no evap)
Just over 1g scraped DMT (some yellow bits) was placed into room temp Naphtha (40ml) some DMT did not dissolve so the Naphtha was heated & swirled until the DMT dissolved, when dissolving the DMT i think i heated the Naphtha too much to allow the yellow/goo to stick to the bottom, before pouring off into the petri dish, so i then got some yellow goo on the petri dish when the DMT crystals crashed out at room temp. To make sure leave goo behind & get only white/clear crystals i find its always best to add warm (not hot) naphtha to the DMT bit by bit, gently heat & swirl, eventually yellow stuff stays stuck to the bottom. These turned out to be my biggest crystals so far:
This was fine white powder from a freeze precip, re-X'd, then scraped, redissolved & freeze preciped again... i was suprised at how the shards stayed clear after the freeze precip as i hadn't encountered clear crystals from freeze precip until then, and haven't since.
Last but not least, some of you may have seen em before & i'm trying to repeat these crystals again as they look perfect for dosing, no joy as of yet but im sure ill figure it out eventually, what i remembered that i did to make these was to add about 1g of DMT to 50-70ml warm Naphtha, it was slightly over saturated from what i remember as some DMT didn't dissolve, i poured it off into petri dish & left it covered overnight (no evap) and in the morning these were waiting...
Now its time for some only fools & some lovely green :d
Merry Xtalmas!!!
