Stumped by Stannous...

[Yggdrasil]

I'll try posting a pic with it on cotton or a paper filter, but usually I have a problem with it running everywhere and it's hard to see. the bit of precipitate is the piece of salt not fully dissolved in hcl when I added stannous. the gray is what the orange precipitated salt in the pics turned into upon heating. upon further heating this was my end result...

It looks like nothing I have seen before.
The yellow salt should be fluffy and light.
Upon heating it should be completely dry and starts by giving up white smoke until it is a grey powder.
If the smoke gets dark you are loosing values.
Can you describe point by point what you have done to the yellowish salt is in the filter?

I haven't done anything with the yellow crystals, as they didn't seem correct I still have them the way they are. That is this picture.

after I precipitated the platinum using ammonium chloride, I reheated the remaining solution which tested positive for pd, brought it to a boil, let it cool, added more ammonium chloride and then added chlorine granules turned off the heat and let it sit overnight and this is what I ended up with.

the platinum I precipitated is what I heated up. the pictures attached here show the stannous test (left is the salt dissolved in hcl and right is the same salt dissolved in hcl and then tested), the orange platinum salts I precipitated and dried. the Grey salt when I continued heating for hours on a low temp and the last pictures where it looks like grey/red rocks is when I put it under higher temperature and then stopped.

You have not told us much in details here, but many of your pictures do not look right.
Your stannous looks almost gelatinous. A picture on paper before and after would be nice.
The crystalline look of the orange salt looks strange (I don't have much experience with Pt salts)
but it should have more homogeneous color and consistency I think.
How did you rinse them?
At what temperature did you heat it?
