VM&P Naptha safe?

I have heard from many sources that VM&P Naphtha is a safe solvent to use as long as it is fully evaporated. I now question its safety after evaporating some in a glass dish. I put about 100ml of Naphtha in a small pyrex dish, and let it set under a fan for a few hours. When I came to check the dish, nothing but a small amount of lead-colored residue remained. I have no idea what this is, but it cant be good for your body. Just thought I'd put this out there, Its worth considering.

Ok, I cant get the residue to show up on pic, the particles are too small and all i get is glare from the glass. But the best I can describe is very small silverish looking bubbles, and they very well may be that, but its hard to tell. I think Im going to try this again with a larger amount to see if I can get a more measurable amount of residue. Has anyone else ever tried this?

Yeah, Im fairly new to chemistry and am still trying to acquire the proper equipment. Finding good solvents around here has been quite a task, but fortunately I met this guy who teaches chemistry at a local university, hopefully he can hook me up soon
