SWIM got the idea to stick a jar of bi-layer naphtha and lye/acid/mimosa mixture into the freezer. When she checked on it later that day, the lye/mimosa mixture was frozen solid, and the Spice had freeze-precipitated out of the naphtha; a layer of very well-formed crystals was lying at the bottom of the naphtha, resting on the frozen mimosa mixture. She tried pouring off the naphtha then using acetone to clean up the crystals, then infused into ground-up Caapi vine. Unfortunately by the time she poured the naphtha off, the frozen mimosa was beginning to thaw, so the acetone also contained a small amount of mimosa/lye mixture. She managed to separate this out.

SWIM has found that the turkey baster/separation part of the process has proved to be the most difficult since the solvent tends to eat away every utensil she's purchased. This seems to be a promising way to completely avoid the need for such tools; if she could freeze the mimosa layer and pour the Spice-infused naphtha out before the Spice precipitated out, she could simply stick the Spice-infused naphtha into another jar and pop it back in the freezer for precipitation. Has anyone else tried this succesfully?

If you use d-limonene instead of pantha, the DMT will stay in the d-limonene. Then you could simply pour off the d-limonene while the water layer is frozen. You'd have d-limonene with DMT in it. Then the problem of getting the DMT out of the d-limonene needs to be dealt with, but there are solutions to that posted on the Nexus already.
