A milky solution full of chalk, or a “snowglobe” as I’ve referred to it is just a cold solution precipitating rapidly in my opinion.
A milky diamond could be explained by waxplugs comment “My take on what’s happening is that just like in water, when you freeze cold water you get air bubbles trapped in the ice that make it cloudy. If you heat the water first, the air rises out of the water and it produces clear ice when it freezes”
And lastly the chalking diamond in my opinion Is a result of an isobutane inclusion finding its way out once removed from solution
If you examine this quote, will Billy posits that they would not have this problem occur ever due to his procedure. [quote=“TheWillBilly, post:175, topic:168464”]
We dont even have the issue is his point and anyone processing like us wouldn’t have this issue

I would guess that he is suggesting that they are recrystallizing in a high BP solvent such as limonene or heptane as these solvents stay fairly “warm” through evaporation, keeping the lattice free of solvent inclusions.
DISCLAIMER: This is my theory, remember to be nice!
