On a recent trip to Morocco, I went to a friend's farm with the intention of re-sieving raw Moroccan hash powder to make quality hash.
That is, buying it off the farmer as powder, taking it to another location and re-sieving it - the result is a high quality resin which is melty and produces a better, longer lasting high
Standard Moroccan hash is made using only one screen over a big bowl, and they beat the plants quite hard, so there's a fair bit of green matter in the powder.
By re-sieving it with a silk screen to clean it up with even only 1 or 2 screens, in this case only one at 77T (or 72 micron), and you can produce a much better result, as the screen they use is more like 43T (150 micron) or 48T (135 micron). The 61T screen which is 92 micron will also clean it up somewhat, just not as much as the 77T/72 micron.
The reason I did it in my hotel room was to do it away from the farmers, as not to offend them that their hash was originally pretty lame in the grand scale of things, and also not to get them into re-sieving as then the price would likely jump up several times! [I paid the equivalent of US$32 an ounce for the original material, the re-sieving reduced it by roughly half, so I ended up paying $64 an ounce for the end product after throwing away all the green material and keeping the gold!]
Here's a pic of the end result:
