Oil of Antimony

I've started the last stages of making the oil of antimony, which is seven distillations and cohobations. I really don't know how this is going to turn out because all the way through this project I've encountered difficulties, ie. not getting a proper coloured tincture, and not a whole lot of powder (antimony acetate) in the end given the amount of antimony glass I started off with - ie. after starting with about a pound of glass I ended up with about an ounce of antimony acetate. So I may or may not get an oil. I'll take pictures as I go along and post when I'm done.
