Here's a couple of pictures of what I'm talking about: <img src="http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/images/salvia_extraction4/salvia_extraction4_image25.jpg" alt="Salvinorin-A" />Third Wash <img src="http://www.erowid.org/plants/salvia/images/salvia_extraction4/salvia_extraction4_image29.jpg" alt="Salvinorin-A" />Seventh Wash I might make my own pics if I ever do this again, but they should suffice Light green solids.

Here’s a couple of pictures of what I’m talking about:
Salvinorin-AThird Wash
Salvinorin-ASeventh Wash

I might make my own pics if I ever do this again, but they should suffice

The solids will be black at first, but with subsequent naphtha washes, it will eventually go light green and hopefully white. This is the Salvinorin-A.

Some people using acetone prefer to use it chilled - you get less salvinorin-a, but a lot less waxy gunk. I'll get back to the other questions when I have a bit of time.

And if we should be heating it for how long exactly? When placing the dried leaf into the saucepan with the solvent, should we be heating the substance or boiling it?

Which would be the best solvente to use? At the moment I have access to 99% acetone, 99% ethanol or 99% isopropyl alcohol, which of these would work best/worst? 2. How come in the "Fortification" step we dont lose half of the salvinorin by it getting stuck to the walls and bottom of the container? As the solvent evaporates, the salvinorine will cristalize both at the leaves and at the jar. Thank you very much. :) Very neat and helpfull guide, well done. :)
