hmmm...?
 
Well those look like crystals to me too, but I've definitely never seen any like that before in my travels.

I too would like to know what they came from.
Looks like a whole lot, of whatever it is though!
Or a bad wig...:lol:

Acetate salt? Or HCl....

It happened where mixed harmala hydrochlorides (+ excessive salt within)were dissolved in little of hot distilled water then pH was(accidentally)lowered to 3.He let it set overnight and following morning he wanted decant and salt it but found crystals instead

ILPT tried to repeat but without any success. Trouble is he didn`t weigh harmalas, don`t know how much salt and water was in there :roll: only remember pH 3 and that 150 grams of seeds were initialy used and mentioned mother liquer has total volume over 200 ml

What is then, hydrochlorides ???
