I knew someone has successfully germinated avoccado's pit in water, not totally submerged but held suspended in a glass of water -- with the help of several toothpicks to sprout the pit. Anyone has experience to share?

I purchased this large avoccado when it appeared green, now the skin is turning this smooth, velvety albony color. It's time for me to start the process of sprouting the seed? Or do I need to clean off the seed and wait for it to air dry? Anyone has experience to share?
