After extracting leaf and removing the tannin impurities first, how can I remove the Chlorophyll impurity to isolate pure Salvinorin?

The easiest and most efficient way I have found to get down to fairly high purity Salvinorin is very simple. I don’t know if this works the same way when using Acetone to extract leaf, but this has worked every time for me when extracting leaf with 99% Isopropanol. After the IPA is completely evaporated the extract will be a very dark green color which is called black wax. Although you can’t see it, this “wax” contains lots of very small Salvinorin crystals. They form within the Chlorophyll as the last of the solvent evaporates out. You can isolate them after removing every bit of tannin impurities (see tannin removal techniques above). Here is a cut and paste from an earlier document I wrote on the subject: The following method can be used to obtain Salvinorin crystals by washing the dried extract from a 99% IPA extraction in pure Naphtha inside a small clear glass container or shot glass with Naphtha until all of the clumps have completely dissolved into the fluid and then continuing
