<p style=”text-align: left;”>And here is the stone after soaking in VERY mild soap water warm overnight and covering the stone with a wet sodden cloth.
As you can see there will always be ink in these old stones. The more they age the more particles loosen and fall into the ink and so “pitting” occurs. It is stone. It is the nature of it.
I love this stone. It has pitted areas in the lower 5th.
These rough parts release earth every single time I use this stone. That earth that frees must be under incredible pressure from when the rock was molten lava millions of years ago and every time I use this stone 600,000,000 (six hundred million) year old earth particles go into my calligraphy and paintings. Every time it dries this earth oozes out, just a rough area but since I’ve used this stone in 2006 it has done this.
I would never sell it. I almost did but……… sometimes your soul becomes a part of these treasures.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Also do you really want a stone that looks as though it just came out of the carvers studio? Age gives it the wisdom of your learning and in this the lessons of your learning will be apparent.</p></p>

As you see, the ink is a permanent fixture of this stone. It is the way of things. Soot is raw carbon. The root of everything on Earth.</p> #HowToCleanInkstone
