I don't have a picture, but it's consistency was crystalline though it was not freebase it was water-soluble, but it was very very fine so appeared to be almost "wet". It lumped together as I manipulated it, do any of y'all have an idea of what this would be would this be hydrochloride? It was an extremely clean sample obviously made with meticulous Laboratory techniques.
Sorry to hijack your thread guys, i've been curious about this for a while and this thread just piqued my interest again. Thanks.
It wouldn't have been HCl if it was crystalline. DMT HCl (and, presumably, 5-MeO-DMT HCl as well) is a resinous yellow compound with a typically oily consistency (due to it being quite hygroscopic, although this can be overcome with vacuum and a strong dessicant). It was, more likely, a well cleaned fumarate salt. While it could have been picrate or oxalate, these salts are not practical for most (given the difficulty associated with preparing the oxalate and the explosive nature of picric acid).
Fumarate, picrate and oxalate are the only crystalline salts of DMT for which I can find literature (though I haven't searched exhaustively) and I assume the chemistry would be much the same for the allylated tryptamines (though I may be wrong, and please correct me if I am).

I'm not a big fan of SWIM. I mean, I've never met the guy, but any time I hear about him, he's doing something sketchy.
