I see. I guess one could just add a drop and see what happens

I never said benzene. I asked about benzene because someone dropped a link to fda notice of benzene contamination

Been thinking of trying this. Or using it to crystallize and see if it builds the same or similar structures

You have a problem reading. I stated you asked a question.

Coincidence they are contaminated and recalled at the exact same time, or not?
What if they ended up taking priority, and buying up the majority of the mole sieved and adsorbant filtered hydrocarbons?

You gotta do it Homie! For SCIENCE!!!
And us, we kind of want to know too
The contamination is likely isobutane in my opinion. Iām not gonna give any of u guys any help. Itās not my job. Like I said is the 10k gonna be cash on the table or am I gonna have to wait

Does the chalky thca remain chalky or turn chalky when re-xād with pentane or acetone?
Is @Dukejohnson 's chalky not the same as others? As he can control if/when it happens, no? and seems to infer in his medusa stone sop thread about temps being a / the key?

Could we just test the Medusa stones for propylene?

Thatās super interesting. Cause my buddy that told me about the possibility of it being propylene works for a company that makes oil for Johnson and Johnson.

Someone did find neopentane in their end product. They have also had a few of these issues, as well. The higher BP would make sense, as well, to why the jars hold more butane than normal, with less pressure. And it dissipates when above its BP (49Ā°f~). Also is remeditated by 13x, too.
@pangea they donāt chalk up after reX. They are stable in that formation.

Why canāt we test the actual lattice right after being pulled out of the mother liquor because itās evaporating as things purge. Again, just my thoughts, I honestly have no clue

Oh, Iād wager 10k against you thatās not it. Iāve seen diamonds made in isobutane before.

Fair enough. All my isobutane runs do the fast crash like in OPās video and I have 3 year old gas that not many people have.
Are people putting these stones to market? Can you clean these things and know they are clean when your not even sure what to test for? I doubt the diamond market came to a hault until this mystery is figured out.

The possibility of iso-butane and/or neo-pentane being the culprits causing chalkiness was brought up in another thread.
Both those hydrocarbons have a bigger smallest dimension than that of any straight-chain hydrocarbon and could conceivably be more prone to be being included during crystallization.

So just before I took off for holidays I ran 16 sample runs and 5 of them reacted weird AF. Crashing fast. Not quite boiling off and then popping hard and exploding out of the jar. I feel that I finally ran thru all our āolderā gas and starting to seeing these same issues developing.
All our samples get whipped up to batter so the crashes didnāt really matter. But I have a few ideas on how to counteract this as far as pouring for diamonds while avoiding a crash. I will post about them once I can try them out when I get back in the lab after the New Years
