Kenneth, We have a carbine noose, used to attach a rifle to a saddle, that also periodically forms white crystals all over it’s surface. I just brush it off with a soft brush. I thought it was residue from whatever oil used to be used to preserve leather – Neats foot, linseed, etc. If you find out for sure what the crystals are, I would be interested in knowing, too.
