Weird humidor prepping problem.

I have been prepping my humidor over that last few weeks. I have 12 bowls of distilled water sitting in the humidor to slowly raise the humidity. I looked at the bowls to add more water and noticed that there was this dark bluish stuff floating in the water. At first i thought it could be mold. But it looks like a blueish dust. I can't really explain it. Here is a picture i took of the bowls. The one of the right was all out of water and this stuff was staining the bottom.

Out of the 12 bowls of water only 3 of them had this crap floating in it. The bowl on the right could not be cleaned with a damp cloth, it had to be washed with hot water and soap to remove the staining. That stuff stained like it was pencil lead. Very weird!

This is actually the second time this has happened. I have fully cleaned out the bowls and refilled them with new water.

The max humidity so far has been 72 in this humidor.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Vic
