Somebody somehow got it too warm and an adulterant in it turned to caramel basically

If it is bone dry, crush it and mortor/pestle it as fine as you possibly can. Dump some ice cold water on it mix it let it settle , decant the water and evaporate it...is what I have done, faced with similar situations

 

[G.Patton]

Agree with him. Some popular cocaine adulterants like lidocaine slightly soluble in water while cocaine*HCl is very soluble.

We had the some topic here. I solved it by putting it in acetone to make solid again.

Thanks, did acetone wash loss was ~50% but i got White powder again.

You could evaporate that down to half or a third and Chuck it in the freezer then filter it and use the water

 

[blackburn]

yes, I didn't think of that, too bad I threw it away

I guess clandestine chemists aren't what they used to be. Water is the most versatile solvent available and the cheapest. It should be the first solvent you consider.

There are sometimes some bricks that will start to develop yellowish swirls. It will look innocent enough and then bam! The entire brick will turn a purplish earth tone with a very bizarre texture. I saw this back in 2007. Guy was crying since he had 3 kilos that turned that way. He begged me to help him. Working with a sample, I could only recover around 10%. I remember theorizing that it had something to do with manganese contamination and that the oxidization step was poorly done. I walked away because I did not want him to eventually transfer his problems/losses my way. All in all, be careful how you store it. You do not want a bad surprise.
