![]() I rinsed the rocks then did the acid.
I'm not sure how long I was supposed to leave the rocks in there. I probably added the baking soda too early. A lot of crap came off the rocks, but there is still a good amount of dark brown and a few red spots still |

![]() When I did it, I poured acid in, waited until the reaction was over, then poured more in until the reaction stopped. Then I let it sit for a couple hours. Then did baking soda.

![]() I only left my rock in for 5 minutes or so. I don't know what the magic number is, but I know I can always put it in again if I needed to.
It was bubbling like crazy and I wasn't sure what was all going on under there so I dumped the baking soda in between the 5 - 10 minute mark. As far as losing mass, I didn't notice any. I am sure you lose some, but I don't think it's significant. Today was the only above freezing day I think we may have for a while. I was in a bit of a rush. I think I might just toss it in a bin and let it cycle in the dark for a while in the basement. |

![]() To be honest I didn't even think about the loss of mass. If I had to answer I'd have to say not much.
