I just bought one last week.

Chlorohydrates
Aluminum Chorohydrates must be different from Annonium
Alum !

  When I was at the health store getting my stone, the lady told me there that 
sometimes you have to sand off the top layer periodicallly??? Also, look at the 
ingredients on them...some of them are only mineral salts...some of them have 
added alums, etc....  I was surprised, but finally found one that was only 
mineral salts... I also use the CS under the arm too.

    -I simply spray the tops of them with my colloidal silver before each use. 
why not pull those stones out of your bathroom cupboard and give this method a 
try. 

    I guess because of the alum / aluminium content
