Overturned meerschaum screwed-in stem

New IMP Coloring Progress
They were both well colored when I got them, so I'm not sure what was smoked in them. Opium actually turns into a green color when smoked (don't ask me how I know...)- jhowell

Increasing Cloudiness on Half of Amber Stem
Look at it the other way around. Is it possible that the top half of the case caused the problem? Could someone have cleaned the top half of the case with a solvent which caused the damage which was later revealed by cleaning the stem?- jhowell
