Kris,

I prefer using a drop of vinegar to see if it fuzzes, this is the method I
like best, the problem is some of the harder stone it take longer to react.
If you use a more aggressive acid the result will be much quicker. Use an
eye dropper to apply the acid. This way you are only testing a very small
area.

John,
What is your choice of method? And please tell me the details and what
to do as a process. I am wanting to teach my staff the ways of the pros.
