I'm pretty proud of myself right now. In the past I've done a few harmala extractions to yield what I thought was some pretty pure stuff. However in my recent extraction I have done much more fridge decanting and careful filtering.

These attached images were taken 2 hours after the 3rd Manske salting was poured into the jar in the picture and it's still warm

I can't wait until the morning!







I've never really seen harmala crystals from a Manske before, so I was pretty excited to say the least.

So these are HCl xtals as far as i understand, formed after you poured alot of salt/water into the jar with reasonably clean freebase harmalas?
More crystals please!

Congrats , they look really nice hope i can turn my harmala into xtals like urs someday

Soulfood

Wow nice work, you should be very proud...


Much Peace and Happiness

Super looking yogurt you got there =) congrats
Can you pls upload some pics tomorrow, would to see them again

Peace

very very nice.

Yes these are Hcl's. Though they have never been freebased so far. I took 100g seeds, boiled 3x with a splash of vinegar then coarsely filtered before leaving the liquid in the fridge for 3 days then filtered again. It was then reduced down from 2L to 1L, filtered and salted. When I salt I use a very hard boil and keep stirring for at least 3-4 minutes, all the time feeling around for gritty texture in the bottom of the pan until the blind grit test sustains for a good length of time. I then pour that through a tea strainer into the container pictured and the precipitates appear. I let the water cool down at it's own pace at room temperature. I always redesolve the harmaloids in neutral non-acidified water.

In the pic above that is the third repetition of the salting, no fancy tricks, just lots of patience.



Thanks

I certainly am!



I may do 1 or 2 more saltings for more pictures. The previous salting precipitated the average dust I'm used to, so the difference between this and the last is pretty damn good. I'm very tempted to see what one more will do, mainly for aesthetics. Get some nice clear liquid and some sunshine to really bring out the sparkle in those babies


I think next time I do a harmala extract I'm going to manske once, then just wash those precipitates in salt saturated water and then manske again and see what difference it made.
