What's This For ... Came With Whetstone
I bought a 1/2 decent whetstone not that long ago and it came with a "small stone" shown in the attached pics ... being fairly new to whetstones didn't know what it was for ... if I was to take a guess I'd say either cleaning or flattening but if anyone can help would be much appreciated.

That's a nagura stone, which is mainly used for cleaning/removing embedded metal swarf from the surface of your whetstone.
I suppose it could also be used for a bit of flattening as well, but a coarse diamond plate works a lot better and faster for that.
