What method did you use? The crystals look nice and clean but that's not the same as a positive IDHey,
Finally got it working to salt over from FB with fumaric acid
Does this look legit?View attachment 109599View attachment 109600View attachment 109601
The acetone dried w/ dehydrated mag sulfate (filtered to catch the sulfate)
Water free fumaricacid 99,5% (food grade)
~ 50mg fb DMT crystals
~ 50mg fumaricacid
* Did dissolve the acid in a ~10ml acetone and the FB crystals in ~1ml acetone
* pipette dripping the acidic acetone into the basic solution
* Problem occured due my highly functional planing skills, was adding 10ml to the 1ml in a 5ml Glas
* was forced to pour all over to the bigger glass
* anyways the crystals dropped out when I first checked within 30-45 minutes? Didn't watch the time
End product is a bit more then 58mg, had some loss left in Glas.
Is there a difference in dropping the acidic solution into the basic solution and vise versa?
Or any improvement suggestions for the working steps?

Dropping base into acid may here (maybe) result in smaller crystals (according to my in-brain simulation) because of the concentration differences but I could be entirely wrong either by having that backwards or by it turning out to be largely irrelevant. You could dilute the DMT solution to see if that helps with forming larger crystals.
My own FASA work was so long ago I've forgotten how it looked - and anyhow, I was developing a trick for doing FASA straight from naphtha (spike the naphtha with acetone to prevent FA from crashing out). [Or was it limonene?]
I think you've already identified the main improvement - start with a large enough beaker!
