Another pic

Here are a few pics of my plaster. This is after an acid bath. My plaster should be a Mediterranean blue color. It is dark, however as i drained a couple of feet out of the pool to add fresh water I noticed the small particles that look like salt. It isnt salt though. If you look real close...
