Anyone ever encounter this?

After soxhlet pull, egg wash, 2 salt precips a ton of nice big crystals were left. Didnt weigh but about 3/4 inch up a 1000ml beaker. It was re-disolved in hcl water (700ml) and filtered (like every other salt precip) this time 1/4 tsp of activated choracoal was poured in and put on stir plate for 5 minutes. It was then filtered and saturated with salt.

This time though, there is about 1/4 inch of precips but the liquid if full of crystal shards in suspension....

It seems that the conversion has been done both here at the DMTNexus (here ) and over at the nook (here). It seems really doable and simple, but some things dont catch on easily and i wonder why (popularity is a weird monster, an A/B extraction seems more laborious ,with much bigger need for "chemicals" ,yet it happens all the time).

Zinc can be purchased from firework shops for one i think ,or online.
