Black Dust in Rudraksha's

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

Is boiling safe? I think the recesses that have dark areas are oil

that are not absorbed and have hardened up. The oil gets stuck in the

small fiber areas and don't drip off.

 

They aren't removed by scrubbing with a toothbrush with soap for some

reason.

 

One of the 3 beads that came with the Lashmi Puja package, the Ganesh

one, also has a lot of dark areas, looks like a resin or something

that is resistant to scrubbing. Came that way.

 

Using boiling water maybe loosen them up, though seems a little

punishing. Wanted comments being I tried dipping them into boiling water.
