Milky white deposit on cantilever/stylus of NOS Signet TK10ML, still in original box, etc.

A friend of mine has acquired an NOS Signet TK10ML.  The cartridge was part of a huge inventory of "stuff" that he purchased from a defunct dealer.  He notes that the stylus is completely obscured by a deposit of a "milky white substance".  Has anyone got any idea what this could be and how to get rid of it without damaging the cantilever and/or stylus?  Thanks.
I haven't examined the problem first hand, as my friend lives a few hundred miles away from my location.

I think if he looks at it with a 60x loupe that may be helpful and tell him a lot. He can order one on Amazon or eBay for about $10.

Sounds like some sort of environmentally caused corrosion.
