xtals from oil after re-x?

Migrated topic.

I did a STB extraction on MHRB. Since I was a bit careless wile pulling the naphtha the dmt wasn't as clean as I'm used to so I decided to re-x using the last naphtha I had.
So I wormed up the naphtha and tried to dissolve everything and pass it to another container,
But wile dissolving I notice some more or less orange oil that wouldn't dissolve so I just left it on the first container when I separated the "dmt naphtha".
Naphtha went to freezer and I left the oily stuff on the old container. And now I have this:





I had no naphtha left there just oily stuff.
And just left it overnight on my kitchen.


If I was to guess I would say it is dmt. But is it?
Is this what it looks like when solvent is evaporated?
Is this cuz the naphtha was saturated and it wouldn't dissolve the oil?
Never see christals like that. i'm gonna do another re-x on this and see if I get something more recognizable.
 
It looks like the good stuff to me :thumb_up:

As long as there was nothing else in the naphtha you used, it should just be DMT. It tends to form like this when oil crystallizes. The molecules are sort of pulling eachother into formation as they are trying to crystallize from everywhere at once instead of a few sites as a saturated solution cools.

The tiny amount of impurities MHRB pulls give a lot of colour to the DMT despite the purity still being very high. You can re-x this for nice crystals with fresh solvent. This didn't dissolve before as your solvent was probably already saturated.
