What would of it been used for? it's got some purple and red grains in it.

For its size I just wondered if it was for sharpening de blades, but I have no real true.

Could you post a picture of the stones it came with?
Its either a cleaning stone or a slurry stone.
Don't think its a stone to hone on.

It looks as if a part of an old hone. likely used on knives, axes, sickles and scythes.

Nothing to get near a razor with, for certain. Really looks un-natural. India Or a cross-section of a brick.
Would be my guess.

It does remind me of a brick as well or chunk of random rock.
