I would wonder about the ammonium alum myself.... and that's why I kept looking 
until I found one that only listed mineral salts as the only ingredient.

  I just bought one last week.
  contains:Mineral Salts,Ammonium Alum.On the front package it says   No 
Aluminum Chlorohydrates
  Aluminum Chorohydrates must be different from Annonium
  Alum !

    When I was at the health store getting my stone, the lady told me there 
that sometimes you have to sand off the top layer periodicallly??? Also, look 
at the ingredients on them...some of them are only mineral salts...some of them 
have added alums, etc....  I was surprised, but finally found one that was only 
mineral salts... I also use the CS under the arm too.

      -I simply spray the tops of them with my colloidal silver before each 
use. why not pull those stones out of your bathroom cupboard and give this 
method a try. 

      I guess because of the alum / aluminium content
