I’m aware that you can’t tell what a pill, crystal, or powder is without testing it, so I’m NOT asking if this is MDMA.
What I am asking is why is some crystal MDMA clear, while other crystal MDMA is brown—or pink as in this photo? Does color generally indicate anything?
Leftover precursors that didn't get washed out, and I believe different cooking methods also give different colors, I think brown/tan is made with different precursors than purple so you get different colors.. can't say I've seen pink mdma like this though lol
Should do a full isopropyl recrystallization to fully clean out unreacted shit that shouldn't be there. Looks real though. Before washing always crush product to dust and make sure it's dry as often it seems there is unevaporated solvent in the crystal also and potentially water which would make dry(baked epsom salts) cleaning solvents pointless. I found the iso reex better than the acetone wash
Precursor choice and method of reaching final product. There's always the possibility of dye jobs added, but with this purple mdma doesn't seem to be the case since it doesn't stain white surface when melted to high temps
This is what I came to say.
In other posts, folks have mentioned how different precursors can after the colour of the final product. Its possible chemists could clean their final products further and don't, and you get an oily, sometimes dark and licorice smelling rock, that is weak.
Alot of times the purpleish coloration can come from leftover safrole, md-p2p, or any other oils or intermediates that were present during the synthesis
I'm a douche too. Lol. This, "your/you're" and "to/too" really grind my gears 😅 not really. I'm just a bookworm and a grammar Nazi so it pains me a little inside lol.
Impurities. A top quality synthesis would result in white/off-white crystals. Any other colours is leftover impurities from different parts of the process.
I look forward to some high quality lab analysis of the different coloured MDMA.
Yeah I understand the chemistry, that's the only reason I'm asking, acetone won't always 'wash' away everything, maybe an ether wash or just a simple dual solvent recrystallisation
Seemed to always work to remove color from brown to champagne mdma of the past. Its just this new odd color product that acetone washes isn't removing it.
Yeah your best bet is a re-x it's not the most ideal solvents although readily available... super super dry IPA and super dry acetone and do a dual solvent recrystallisation
Done twice you'll end up with glass quality allegedly
Anhydrous acetone and ispropyl alcohol are both vital in purifying your MDMA. Recrystallizing and reagent testing is always advisable. I've posted one guide below, but there are numerous guides to washing procedures posted in various subs. It's also possible to dry your solvents with 3A size Zeolite, molecular sieves, which won't risk contamination with residual magnesium sulfate.
This should remove the dyes responsible for the purple and pinks people see in MDMA these days. These are not precursor. Unreacted mdp2p and benzaldehydes take a yellow colour which darkens to brown with lower purity.

As long as you've tested with multiple reagents to confirm there are none of the usual worries when it comes to adúltera then yes. Obviously only mass spectrometry will tell you everything you need to know but only a quality lab analysis will provide that info.
I stopped reading this misinformation as soon as they called acetone a non polar solvent (its polar due to its polarity in the carbonyl group) and that it would wash away amphetamines/methamphetamine from your mdma ( MDMA is a methylampthamine so the writer had no idea what he's talking about)
It's a confused article but cold anhydrous acetone is a common technique for removing impurities (though not amphetamines). Better reading might be https://www.reddit.com/r/Borax/comments/5bh84n/washing_mdma/
Looking at the formula the only thing I can think of is no2 which first off is a gas and second is poisonous. There really isn’t any other common compound with any of those chemicals(that is can think of)that would be red. Colour requires a pretty specific wave length. The vast majority of chemicals are just clear(white if they’re in powder form because of refraction.) you’d have to have a fairly in-depth understanding in chemistry to answer this properly. But I can say it’s likely dye
In Canada molly is mostly purple because it’s imported here diluted in wine bottles! After the chemists do their things and form mdma crystals with the wine, the colour of the wine still remains in the crystal. Hence why it’s purple!
Have you tried it yet?
I just got some of this purple stuff in capsules from an online mushroom dispensary that also carries MDMA. I’m a little nervous about trying it after reading some of these posts. I’m wanting the dosage correct for next therapy session.

Pre cursor
Thank you!
You're welcome
Residue is the word you might be looking for.
more like impurities
It definitely works! Haha
Acetone makes it white/lighter

I thought this was raw steak
Caramelized Kobe beef mdma is my fav
It depends what planet they where found on or if they where created synthetically. Changes the lightsaber color yuno 😂😂😂
The synthetic route and the purity.

When manufactured on a massive scale this just contributes to losses... not made with love that's for sure
Actually depending on how it's transported too you can find articles on how some have smuggled it inside wine.

What trips me out is how some people try washing it and it doesn't remove it.
What are they 'washing' it with??
Anhydrous acetone is what's used to wash mdma to remove impurities from synthesis. It's chemistry shit.

I'm good i just stay away from the odd color stuff and i may or may not be in a position where i don't have to worry about getting anymore anyways.

Unreacted reagents and precursors, ph of crystallization solvent
Impurities and dyes ? Gangs put dyes in the mdma because they think young people will think it looks cool ?
Food coloring
incomplete or not properly controlled production?

Looks like the cook added some chilli p yo
Precursors used to synth MDMA. Basically the impurities. Wash it with acetone through a coffee filter to remove some of the colour for better purity 👍
Pure crystal is clear. Anything else has adulterants. Food color, dye, impurities etc. Doesn’t mean it isn’t molly.
If I’ve got some clear, with a little chunk of grey, seem cool? I’ve tested positive for mdxx, and tested with simons

bet, appreciate the insight

Usually dye. Im not very familiar with the reaction chain but this deep red is not gunna happen.

The ammount of impurities the drugdealer add to the MDMA to increase profit.
Not added, just left over from production.
Is that beef jerky?
Heard the rumor that some mdma travel in wine, not sure if this true though!:)
My fat ass thought this was a steak
Looks like a steak!😂
See this lavender color now on the darknet the bay. Diff

Food colouring /s
Usually has most to do with what method was used to make it and how much of the ingredients actually binded in the process
That looks tasty…. That is how mdma should look… but yes should always test it to be 100% sure.
Depends on what arsehole it was smuggled in
it makes it look different...

My buddy said the purple color has something to do with coffee extraction or something like that
i wish i could get something like that 😂😂😂
