Best Answer

An old toothbrush, dish soap, and warm water are a good start for cleaning just about any rock or mineral. Carbonate coatings can be removed with vinegar or stronger acids, but follow the relevant safety requirements. Iron coatings can be removed with products like Iron Out. Don't expect miracles, some rocks will never look like much, no matter how you try to clean them.
