Nice Looking DMT Crystals!

Migrated topic.

Here are some awesome pics of some clear glass DMT crystal shards!

Came from 1lb bark that was sent down from Heaven...

4 Acetic Acid Pulls

4 Heptane Pulls + 1 Hot Naptha Pull

3.3g Total Yield

Shards p0wn hard!

Here's some sweetness after re-crystallizations:

Good work.
6.6% of crystal that clean is not a low yield from MHRB unless one is using ultra quality specialty bark.
With regular bark, anything over 5% is good.

Mind defining how you got 6.6% from your calculation?

I'm a tad confused... 453g start, 3.3g yield... :?
 
Well the yield was iffy...

It was about 1.75g of white & off-white powder and 1.75g of yellow powder and another .3-.4g of orange powder.

Some major loss was suffered during recrystallization.

1g of white fluff was recrystallized into .3g of the clear glass shards. The rest vanished.

1.25g dark yellow powder was recrystallized into .7g off-white powder. The rest vanished.

They were done in a shot glass on a below-boiling-water bath.

DMT added till melt then 30ml hot heptane added + mixed while on water bath, cooled to room temp, sucked off yellow layer from bottom with dropper, poured into new shot glass leaving yellow residue behind, let cool for several hours then put in freezer for 24+ hours. Why the heavy losses?? Could it have been lost to heat over 140F but less the 212F or binded to the yellow goo that was sucked out? The goo was only yellow oil...

The smoke was reported to be VERY smooth!! Reported by someone who had white powder before and said it burned her lips + throat so much that she couldn't take more then 1 hit. With the shards, she could take 3 big ones no problem and reported it was smooth as butta.

She will write a trip report soon :)

I will try some this weekend after my throat infection clears up. ;)

Any idea on the losses during recrystallization?
 
That yellow layer still has a lot of dmt in it. Try to stir your yellow layer with something until it forms a hard ball of crud and then pour off. dont heat up your heptane to much or the yellow stuff will redisolve in your heptane. Just enough to dissolve the dmt and leave the crud behind.
 
In terms of natural product isolation, .66% is excellent yield :) Possibly not for this compound, however I am a synthetic chemist and have very little experience in any type of natural product extraction/isolation ;)

Very nice crystals. I will have to see if I can locate photos of some pure synthetic crystals. May I ask, what did you use as your recrystallization solvent system?
