Small fibre like strands on a Rudraksha.

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Cleaned my beads today under running water and a little liquid soap

and scrubbing them with a toothbrush.

 

Before cleaning, certain recesses were darkish/blackish in colour.

After cleaning with water and drying them with a fan and

airconditioner, I see that those recesses that appeared

darkish/blackish are now brownish or of a much lighter shade and

contain fiber like strands. What are those strands? Leftover fruit pulp?

 

I thought they were grime initially and scrubbed at them but to no

avail. Going to oil them now, look rather dull at the moment.
