Thanked: 480I would say pan of water in the oven, and heat in oven for an hour at its lowest setting, and raise it by 25 deg every 20 minutes. let stand at 250 for an hour.
If its held in by pitch, that should make it soft enough to come out. If its plastered in place, hopefully the moisture will have softened that as well.
I have gotten some great edges off a similar stone. Good luck!

Thanked: 202You need to be slow on heating up and cooling down this stone. They are prone to micro-cracking/flaking

Thanks a million adrspach, I really appreciate all the help! I'll post more pictures of the sides/bottom when it's free.
Last question, will my DMT be a good choice for lapping this stone? I've read many people using glass or granite with sandpaper to lap these finishing stones. Is that just so they get a good polish on them (i.e. higher than the 325 grit of the diamond plate)? What is your usual method for lapping natural finishers?

Thanked: 202I would not touch this hone with any DMT higher than 220. You risking that the hone will take your diamonds off.
