For a very dirty stone, I bury it under 12 inches of Earth for a month, then repeat the fore mentioned technique.

It depends upon the stone/crystal...my go to, if you will, is sage and incense. But i have used salt, soul, moonlight, sunlight, water or other stones like Selenite. There are some stones that cannot be exposed to water, salt or sunlight without harming the stone or altering it in some way. So you have to be careful. i like your methods too...i'm of the opinion that the biggest part of any cleansing has to do with my heart and intent. That there is no wrong way if those two are pure.
