Thanks.. Never thought about the beads turning colors.. Maybe the ph of the water could cause it to change.. Who know, cause I have broken some of these and they are black (or whatever color) through and through... But I guess they are dyed in some way too, cause they are probably made from at least part recycled plastic...I'm also gonna go get some rit.. Chuck
