Richard,

    I hope you understand a reluctance to try that (Calgon, but will) on
    natural turquoise. (One recommendation was dishwasher detergent, to
    which I say no.) The other (washing soda) is tried and true. I do
    have a few "scraps'" bits you can't do a lot with, I could see then
    how it does, i.e. test. I see no anticipated problem, this is not
    corrosive as is dishwashing "soap." Will not try soon as I have an
    unopened box of borax washing soda. 

    I noticed you mentioned salt, could you tell us approximately how
    much and how much Calgon water softener with about how much water.
    Willing to try it out.
