P.S. My main interest stems from originally thinking that ethanol clean up was the quickest and best way to further purify and clean the residual salt from a Manske Rue Extraction. As a matter of fact it worked perfectly the first time. I saw the salt and some other junk fall to the bottom and I poured through coffee filter and a lovely yellow powder formed with absolutely no traces of red. The second time I did the exact same thing, but a clearly harmala red formed mostly around the top sides of the pyrex pie plate. This really through me off then I found information here on the nexus. The other thing I'm a little confused about, but may be getting off topic, is that it seems the purified harmaline and harmine I've seen here at the nexus, are white and tan respectively. My Manske extract has always been yellowish needles after 3-4 salt purifications. I'm guessing that hydrochlorides, acetates and base products have different colors? Can someone verify this?
