Hi, I tried to lurk around a bit in case this has been asked before, but I haven't found anything that answers my specific question. So here goes.
My collection is still pretty small and I recently got my first 2 purple MUSCLEs from the same lot. They looked kinda grimy in hand, so after some thorough soaking and scrubbing, I was surprised to see minimal change. Usually the "toothbrush in scalding water with dish soap" method has cleaned other so far.
Are these lighter streaks and discolorations typical with purple MUSCLEs? I thought Sunshine might have been scratched, but Eranginesu definitely looks almost marbled in the right light. These photos don't really do it justice- it's much more noticeable in person.
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcomed!
