i'd go for soaking in bleach solution as the safest option too.
last thing you'd need in your oven is an exploding rock! |

I've got some rocks ready to go in the vivs after brumation. I cleaned off all the dirt first just using water, then soaked them in a bleach solution. Think that should be enough but if you want to put them in the oven as well then that will probably help as well |

Not straight from the garden into the viv, but there should be a way to kill anything harmful so that you can use it. Possibly an hour and a half in the oven at 180c would do it, after you clean and wash off any visible dirt.
I think there is a guide somewhere re bringing things from outside into the vivs and how to go about disinfecting, worth checking the DIY sections here and on the other forums.
