it's like a hint of fireball behind the anise

so let's get back to the procedure

after the acetone was boiled off the remaining oil was washed thrice with lighter fluid. the lighter fluid was boiled off outside in a mason jar in a pot of oil. the remaining liquid was put in the refrigerator and the following morning had completely solidified.

Here's my conjecture: does the oil congeal homogenously? can I not like precipitate my goods separately? Borneol is a component of essential oil of nutmeg with an mp of 200c and seeing as the oil has gone from acetone to lighter fluid I guess this is it's first chance to precipitate. Safrole melts at 11 celsius. I can't get a number on myristicin but I'll assume it's similar. I'm gonna see about filtering off the borneol next.
