i am aware that Safrole freezes, but i was unsure that whether it would fefract light from just the freezing process..whether it would be pure enough, obviously not as SS found out just form freezing.. and is now aware that you must also distil..me thinks for better purity..
i am merely making sure that SS has all the information correct...
2) Safrole has a relatively high index of refraction, so by purifying it (for example by crystallization), you will end up with a very refractive liquid...
Rhodium' i SS did not end up with shit that refracts form freezing even though it looks exact to the pics on the hive..as SS said, she thought that she would refreeze to get better purity, and upon doing the second freeze there was no change in color.. so SS thinks, that it is at its best already, and the only way to get the safrole to refract is to distil..
thanks for the help, Rhodium
