THE MAN!!

I went and looked up Wachita and found pics very close to what I have.
MUCH closer than any Arkansas stone pic I found

maybe different names for the same thing but probably a regional thing
no time to look it up now though

DC
try putting that stone on top of a rag in a pan
add water to cover
add some soap
bake @ 350 for one hour (or until clean)

give it a try
