The point is that "needlepoint" is a branding. You refer to it by its look and therefore attribute it to a high purity, which very well may be and is likely the case. But it's not a distinct type of acid, in the sense that indica and sativa are two distinct types of marijuana.
Now theres a post out there by someone who apparently rolled with The Dead and helped lay blotter and so on
All of this may or may not be bullshit. Old timers love to relive their glory days and talk like they knew it all and had seen it all and been around it all. Go talk to any old man about his past and he'll tell you he was the roughest toughest dude who did anything and everything, and had all the best stuff; its pure ego.
So even if we can all agree that needlepoint may have been branded to mean a super pure form based on the look of the crystal itself, from the scientific perspective this still gives no credence to the true purity, and there is still the issue of you personally knowing exactly what you got. Even taking the whole GCMS and science out of the equation, in order to tell what is needlepoint and what isnt, you're going to have to have been experienced to numerous types of LSD crystal of varying purity first hand in order to be able to point out which is the best looking and which is therefore needlepoint.
Here I will make a bit of an analogy. About 10 years ago, there was what I call the "kush explosion" with marijuana here, overnight it seemed to be the kind everyone wanted and over night all the local dealers of marijuana were selling kush. Now some of it may have been kush but the vast majority actually wasnt (and quite frankly, I don't believe that what I am smoking is what I am told unless I grow it myself, or I know and trust the grow). Now some of it looked really nice and it was really easy for some people to believe they got kush, afterall why doubt it? The weed looked and smelled nice and it got them really high, kush was supposed to be really good so it must be kush. Now even if you had access to see the pure crystal, how would you personally know that what your guy is calling is needlepoint isn't actually 'silver'? Shit gets you high as fuck and looks really good, so why would you doubt it?
The thing about bluelight is that we (?) try to spread information that has some tangible proof or evidence behind it. You say based on your vast experience you've come to these conclusions based on the way your body has reacted, but the issue here is that you truly don't know the purity of the substance you were given to draw these concrete conclusions. Thats the circular reasoning Deinonychus was talking about, "I felt like shit therefore what I got what dirty acid and therefore dirty acid makes you feel like shit."
Each of us on either "side" of this argument can learn from each other if we let go of our egos for a second here. Its not a cock measuring contest.
Here you're attributing a liquid solution to a crystal type that you never even saw.. how can you say one way or another it was 'fluff'? This is JUST like me saying the weed I got that got me super fucking high was definitely Kush. Why can't you just say: "it was top notch stuff and definitely of a higher purity relative to other liquid I've gotten in the past due to how much higher I got." No you have to go attributing badass street names to something to sound like a badass who knows his way around the LSD block. Pull your head out of your ass.

Needlepoint-very pure(95% ) white powerdery crystal,was available in small amount`s. The best of the best
White Fluff-Very pure(95% ) white light flakes of crystal. Still around and the most sought after. very pure
Silver-Good and clean(85-90% )-light greyish crystal. Was an unbelievable amount of this around in the late eighty`s and early nineties. Very good stuff. My first thumbprint was this kind. If you ate acid in the 80-90`s you probably sampled some silver.
Amber-Decent(70%?) This crystal varied from a light amber color to an almost dark brown color.Was always available.One batch called quadricept amber was the color of light honey and was very good.Lot`s a people worked with this crystal but I always would use silver instead since it was better and the same price.
Lavender-(60-70%?) light purple to almost black colored crystal. Like amber it varied batch to batch.
TJ(tornado juice) - purity unknown. I seen this shit in about four different colors and it always scared me. No experiance with it.
Champagne-(50-60% ) black crystal, nasty stuff IMHO. I worked with it once and swore to never touch it again.

..so I did and it was definitely Fluff..
