Hey guys,

Real quick easy question, is this stone hit? And by hit I mean no good anymore.
If not what can I do to refurb it?

Sorry pics are ginormous, wanted you guys to see the details.

Cheers

Old stones can be cleaned by putting them in the dishwasher, Let the stone cool to room temp before you use it. If the stone surface needs some love then you can resurface them with a diamond stone.
 
It's fairly blurry so hard to tell, but it looks like the surface is pretty gouged up. It can probably just be flattened and resurfaced on some wet/dry sandpaper on top of a piece of glass or countertop.
 
It likely needs de-glazing and resurfacing, but that is not uncommon. Lot of stone still there to work with.
