And to think that I traded the family cow for the magic beans which I sold for the $5 that I bought these with.

I will say one thing though, I tried dressing this stone on some 320 aluminum oxide Emery cloth I have in a roll and it just polished the high spots. I took it to the belt grinder to speed up the process and it was a little quicker but it was getting hot and I was afraid it would fracture it so then I got out my Norton flattening stone which did almost nothing. It raised just the slightest amount of a medium gray slurry but that was it. Of course none of this is very easy with one hand. Whatever this is it is hard hard hard hard hard. It's branded by Hobby Lobby which is located in Oklahoma City so I wonder if this is some kind of black novoculite.
Edit: also the parts that did lap are smoother than glass.
