    Richard, you mention the Calgon and salt in your tin foil with (I'm
    assuming) hot water. Could you say what your ratios are of Calgon,
    salt & water? I have Calgon in both a box & a bottle, but I haven't
    gotten it to work for me yet. I was told quite a while back to use it
    as part of a setup with a battery, but no matter how I set it up, it
    made everything gross & gunky. Perhaps without the battery it would
    work better. At other recent suggestions, I just got a box of A&H
    washing soda, so I'll try that, too. I'd love to have a way to clean
    things when I'm being wary of the stone. I have some excellent dip
    solutions, but they warn against pearls & other stones, as usual.
