The only reason I can think of is; somehow, the container wasn't airtight so it got moisture in the air (it's a quite hygroscopic material). Maybe you could crush it in a mortar and microwave it to get rid of water. On the other hand, it's relatively cheap to justify such a PIA... Tho, on the 3rd hand, living in NYC, it's probably a bigger PIA to get more ! J.
