Greetings!

Not so long ago, I decided to step into the world of DMT.

Having my first some extractions behind me, I remembered an experiment from elementary school, we were making crystals out of blue stone (blue vitriol). The experiment suggested that we can make a necklace with little crystals of blue stone if we put a thread into the solution and leave it overnight in a cold place. Which I did, even if the necklace then was not to be carried around the neck for the not-so-beneficial effects of the blue stone to the skin.

Hey, I decided to do the same with the spicy spin on it. This is the result:
After a hot pull, I put approximately 20 cm of thread in a glass with solvent and left one end hanging from the edge of the glass. After 18h on -24C, I slowly pulled the thread from the solvent, all of the crystals were elegantly hanging on it. Aprox 2/3 of all the beautifully white crystals sticked on a thread and were dry within a minute. It is worth mentioning that this is a very simple thread, nothing special about it, except when looking at it closely it seems that quite a lot of little fibers are stemming out of it (and making nice little hanging spots for the crystals to form).

Hopefully some of you with smaller extractions might benefit from this »hack« as well. It is certainly not original idea (let alone my idea), but I haven't seen it around here yet.

It was STB, MHRB, hot pulls, solvent used light naphtha, freeze precip at -24C for 18h.

Smoking hot necklace

Very nice, thanks for sharing

Brilliant! This way you avoid scraping and fan usage. Gonna do this in my upcoming ext. running low on the magic

Well, some of the spice was laying /sticking to the bottom, so you will still need to fan & scrape it. But just the feeling of taking the precious ones out so simply will make your day, I'm sure.

hehehe....nicee

This is the first time I've seen this and it's awesome! I remember making sugar necklaces from saturated sugar solutions too and this is a creative way of implementing what you learned way back when.

Helluva idea!!

Great looking Crystals too.

Keep it up!!

Thanks for posting.


Safe travels!

this is great!!! i realy like this idea. and no i havnt seen anything like it on here before. thanks for sharing. i will be trying this out.

haha, I was literally thinking about doing this very thing in the shower this morning.

Along with trying various absorbent materials to make crystalline art.

Science in schools...god bless it.

Nice.

Use stainless steel cable and you can load it straight into the bowl.. just remember to weigh your cable before and after the crystallisation experiment

Using string suspended from the ceiling with seed crystals in a round bottomed flask with a large amount of highly saturated solvent may provide some very nice crystals this way
I believe this is the technique used in labs to grow crystals. Should come out looking like an explosion stemming from the suspended seed crystals if it's done right no?

Just goes to show that school is useful for something after all!


Other things that come to mind to work could be a guitar string (those are typically nickel though, would this be a problem?)

Or non-teflon coated bicycle shifter or brake cable?

Wow, the idea is developing... nice This is what I love about this site!

Let's not forget that crystals need some sort of "hanging spots" (just as climbers to resist the gravity) which the thread offers with those microfibers. I wonder if the stainless steel would provide them as well - probably one should scratch the steel first. Unless you use guitar strings as HumbleTraveler suggested. These already are quite curled by themselves

Nickel? I am not a chemist so don't know anything about metal reactions in different solvents..

Grab your wires, experiment and keep us photo-posted!

Try splitting the end of a string up into separate thin layers about 1/3-1/2 way up & doing it with that. May be interesting. If solvent is saturated enough maybe the whole thing gets crystal formations on it that meet or float individually close together
