I was wondering if it is normal for crypts to have brown, wavy leaves?

I have put links to a couple of photos, if that helps... hopefully the
quality is ok...

When I purchased them they had smooth, green, oval-shaped leaves. I
guess they were grown emersed? I was told they were crypto. lutea. Are
these lutea? Or have I deformed them?

The substrate is flourite, w/no root tabs. I fertilize weekly with
flourish for my non root feeding plants.

that's the type of crypt they are, either called wenditti, I had some,
very nice looking ones you have...

When they are young, they have the oval shaped leaves... as they get
older, more mature, that's what they look like...

Well thank you for the compliment! That's good to hear. I thought I had
done something wrong! I found them on ebay, I guess I meant to order
lutea, which seem to look very different. Although I think they're kinda
neat.

I can't tell if you're hinting or not, but if you'd like one I can send
you one or two (I only have three or four of them...), or I could give
you the name of the store...
