    dude if you do a vinegar test on them and nothing happens then they will be safe.

    Hey @oscar freak I have read on more than one site now that the vinegar test is not good or atleast not strong enough to be accurate. Most say hydrocloric acid (swimming pool acid) diluted is a better way to determine if rocks are in fact safe. But they also say the impact on ph is sometime much less than you would think. Hope this helps. But there is allot out there on the web on the subject.
