Antlers on deer are bonematerial - During growth they are covered with a skin that helps provide blood and thus nutrients to the antler.
When the antler growth stops due to testosterone-levles rising in the animal, the skin is rubbed off - therewith creating the colorization and "staining" of the antler.
