That's good info and that's about how the surface feels. I didn't try to get it spotless, just a quick wash to get a feel for the surface. I think I'll finish cleaning it soon and play with it a little. Feels like it will cut fast.

Yup, slip stone for carving chisels and other tools.
They make or made them in carborundum and some arks. I have an old very nice translucent ark slip that I have flattened and can be used to finish a razor, but I have larger stones that are easier to use.
A soak in Simple Green or Awesome for a day or two will clean it up, also good for small knives, that one may be too course for razor finishing.
