    I would recommend doing NOTHING!

    It´s just a tiny drop of oil. Work with your stone as normal,
    and look for yourself. If there is any difference in performance,
    like water doesn´t spread anymore, then you might want to think about getting rid of it.
    Otherwise, enjoy your japanese natural

    What I'd do is wrap it in a paper towel and then leave in near a low heat radiator. The slight heat will help the oil come out.

    Oh come on, a J-Nat is a rock! A little kitty litter will not hurt anything besides before it is all done he is going to lap it anyway.

    I'm quite sure that a poultice would remove the oil.
    Here is a link for a poultice to remove oil from granite. I've used this and it works very well!

    No need to remove it, however my trick would be: iron it out. You put the iron on its lowest heat and iron the hone with a piece of toilet paper between iron and hone. Works a treat. Also very good for removing paraffin stains from fabrics.

    A drop? I wouldn't worry about it.

    Yea, a drop. In my stupid rush when I first saw it, I wiped it away quickly and made it a 1/2 inch line perpendicular to one edge of the stone. Looking at it from the side, it looks like the oil hasn't really gotten deep into the stone.

    I'll leave it for now and if it needs anything, I'll use the kitty litter and then lap afterwards. It's a soft kiita so it needs lapping anyways. Thanks for the help everyone. I'm a lot less worried about it now than when it first happened. Somehow I thought it would seep through the whole stone and ruin it forever
