I can't say I've ever seen that happen. Could you post a pic? I'm a little hesitant to mention anything that might help without knowing what your dealing with.

Hmmmm?
Did you remove the skin and remove the marrow with a pipe cleaner?

I put mine in Borax for a few days also, then lightly sand the edges of the bone with fine grit sandpaper. I've never had the spur itself bleach out.
