Be extremely careful doing this. Rocks can and will explode. If the rock was thoroughly dry beforehand then it probably wont, but a damp rock heated to boiling can explode sending high velocity shrapnel through your kitchen. I was once sitting around a campfire built on top of some damp stones when I was in Boy Scouts. Well those stones exploded sending burning logs and embers along with sharp jagged pieces of rock flying through the air. We were lucky no one died.

i put them in the oven personally. 350* for an hour does it, make sure you let them completely cool before you open the door! yes, i have had rocks explode ("pop" would be a more accurate description) in the oven, it wasn't very violent but i guess it could have been.
i had a nasty hair algae outbreak because of some contaminated bleached rocks... i'm assuming it was the rocks, because they were the only thing i added to the tank other than food.
