I get bits of scrap soapstone from a stone carving friend of mine and make them into small cubes......place the small cubes in the freezer......add cold soapstone cubes to the single malt of your choice and you have a nicely chilled beverage without the addition of water from melting ice!!! These are commercially available as "Whiskey Stones" or "Whiskey Rocks" for a price. I wouldn't cut yours up into cubes with that engraving though!!

Soapstone is lovely to work with, it's soft enough to carve easily. I was just using a small knife, a cut down hacksaw blade and some warding files, I started to make a chess set with a couple of pieces of a broken lamp base years a go, lack of forward planning though I didn't think at the time I didnt have enough to make 16 chessmen or a contrasting colour for the other 16.
Leave it alone, it looks to have a very fine Innuit carving on it. If you do not like or want it I would gladly take it off your hands.
