I have several sets of rock castings from craft stores. I believe they need something to accentuate the nooks and crannies. I was thinking an India ink wash, however I've never done that before. I know it's an ink/alcohol mixture but i don't know the ratio or the best application technique. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You can always add more, you cant take away without a bigger bottle. You can also add more layers, you cant get them off.
Add a DROP or 2 in a new bottle of alcohol. Try it. Let it dry before you judge. Adjust from there.
It also matters whether you plan to reduce the absorbency of the castings with a spritz of spray paint before you start staining....
If you'd rather not "roll your own", Model Tech Studios makes an aging solution (which seems to be basically an india ink solution) and a rusting solution, both of which can be brushed on. Also, many other interesting products.
