Adam ,

If you think this is only moisture you can apply a poultice powder only
using DE powder and it will help pull the moisture from the stone.
 Do not cover the poultice with plastic , leave it open to the air to assist
in the drying process.

Thank you guys for your input. My plan is to test it for iron oxidation with
rsr-2000 and If it is, set the poultice with iron out. If is not then open
the grout lines and dry for another week and see what happens.
Any other ideas?
