Probably the only Indian grinding stone made from lanite

[TexasTheiss]

Found in Llano county TX. its made from llanite, a type of granite found in very few places in the world, has pretty blue crystals in it. My guess is this is the only Indian grinding stone made out of llanite. Not sure if I should put on a pedestal in my office or out in the flower bed what do you guys think ?

IT has several flat surfaces that indicate it was used pretty heavy as a grinding stone of some sort. I showed it to an archeologist and they agree that it was used for grinding.

Just imagine on how long they used this stone to grind the surface flat , maybe centuries..

Look at the "flat surfaces" they are not flat and do not have signs of grinding on any of them, if they were used for grinding there should be signs on each side of the actual grinding.
such as pictured below.
