31 Sixth Naphtha The Salvinorin had settled more than in the previous photograph and looks darker than it would otherwise, that and the lighting was not as good in this photo
32 Seventh Naphtha At this point you do not need to clean the extract any further. Cleaning it further with IPA will reduce the yield. The extract is already quite pure enough and very good for enhancing leaf, making tincure or a chew of some kind. It is very potent.
33 Naptha Wash The bowl I dried the concentrated IPA extract in, the vial I use to wash waxes out of the crude extract and the green Naptha from the seven washes
34 Naphtha from Seven Washes This is all of the Naphtha used in the washes, almost eight ounces.
35 First IPA Wash Be sure to pour out the Naphtha before adding IPA. Each time you clean with IPA you loose some of your Salvinorin. You do not need to clean the extract with IPA, it is pure enough as it is for making enhanced leaf etc. (Extract had settled 1 hour).
36 Second IPA Wash I poured out the dark IPA and added clean IPA to remove more of the wax. The vial was shaken for thirty seconds and set down for five minutes before I took this picture and the fine Salvinorin particles are still settling out to the bottom.
37 Third IPA Wash The third wash is still settling out. I am going to dry the extract and stop loosing Salvinorin from each wash.
38 Dried Extract I stopped washing the Salvinorin and dried it on a Teflon cookie sheet in an oven set to 120 degrees F. You can see that the choloropylls dried on top, as always.
39 Green Salvinorin Although the Salvinorin has a green tint to it, it is very concentrated and would not take much more cleaning to turn it completely white. I am estimating that I was able to get 75%+ of the Salvinorin out of the leaf in 20 minutes. 60 would be better
40 Crystals Crystals grown from this extract when dissolving all of the powder in about 25 ml of 135-140 degree F. 151 proof Alcohol. I re-heated the Alcohol in this vial with a microwave oven to almost boiling three times before these crystals formed.
41 Crystal_4 All in all I re-heated/dissolved the crystals in microwave 4 times to grow better formations. Each time you recrystalize you loose some but using a microwave to heat the Alcohol made the losses much greater. It is better to heat it with hot water.
42 Warning The extract from this process is far too potent to consider for use as a drug. Even 200 mcg (two tenths of a milligram) is strong for some people. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE POWDER.
43 Sediment Let the IPA (Isopropanol/Isopropyl) stand still for at least eight hours and then pour off the Alcohol and leave the brown sediment behind, wait another eight hours and do it again.
44 Salvinorin These four vials show dark crude Salvinorin though white accomplished by multiple washings of Naphtha and IPA.
