Did you boil in saltwater or fresh water? It might just be spots from being boiled, I’m not 100% sure though. I know I’ve boiled some of mine in saltwater and it made them dull and hazy. I use freshwater to boil and then dip in saltwater now.

I think it’s just heat spots from being boiled. As long as it didn’t cause an actual hole in the shell, it’s ok. Probably just from the heat causing some discoloration.
