It's a stone for maintaining your straight razor.
Like kn4wd said, probably around 4K to 6K grit.
It's in very good shape as well. There is a collectors market for those just like anything else.
You might try searching straightrazorplace.com or badgerandblade.com, might find some more info there.

Despite the 4k-6k grit estimate, which is somewhat pointless, the hone does in fact produce a perfectly good shaving edge on a razor.
