If it is base rock why do you want to boil it? There is nothing living on it. Just rinse under tap water and do a soak in RO/DI saltwater and you should be fine.

The rock is dirty and I thought boiling it would help clean it a little better.

I guess it might help. I wouldn't get too worried about the "nutrients" in the tap water (if that's what you are worried about) Just soak overnight in RO/DI after.
