Richard Allan hematoxylin 1 with their clarifier, blueing and eosin.  Ask
them for their manual to explain how to do H&E staining.  They will also
send you samples of their products to try. 

Bring to water
Hematoxylin 1   1 1/2 min
Rinse 1 min
clarifier 1 min
rinse 1 min
bluing 1 min
rinse 1 min
70% alcohol 1 min
eosin y 30 sec to 1 min
dehydrate

If you decalcify, you may have to extend hematoxylin staining, decrease
eosin, eosin/phloxine works very well with decalcified bone, some like it
for all tissues.  They also have that.
