Cleaning the outside of a Meer?

pics of said blackness? I ask as one of the great things about a Meer is that the oils from the baccy stains the bowls outside kinda like a fingerprint... Makes each one unique.

The staining on the pipe itself is one of the things that comes with a Meerschaum. Not sure there is any way to get rid of it.

As for how you scraped out the inside on the pipe, I hope you were extremely careful with it, as scratching the inside of the bowl could potentially seriously damage the pipe, especially with a Meerschaum.
