Original Message: What happened here?? African brass beads gone crusty...

I bought these years ago. They are "rings" of three beads each. Inside the circular part was a black filling. I have no idea what it was, whether it was intentional, dirt, etc. Frankly, maybe I don't want to know! When I pulled these out of hiding...er...storage...I saw the black stuff is now covered in a white fuzzy coating. What the heck is the black stuff? What the heck is the white stuff??? Is there a way to clean the stuff out completely?? Copyright 2024
