After placing the substance in the package Stewart broke the first vial which caused the substance to turn a pink color, a positive test. He broke the second vial which turned the pink color to blue. The color col-or will vary from blue flakes to solid blue depending on the purity of the drug. Breaking the third vial caused the substance to form a blue and pink layer.
