Do the vinegar drop test for starters. Take a couple drops of vinegar and drop on the stone to see if it bubbles or sizzles. If it does you shouldn't use it in your tank as it can increase ph. Post a picture is possible as someone might know what type stone it is.
Don't boil it. Try to drops, don't need to let it sit in vinegar. You can scrub it good with a new toothbrush or something similar that has never been used with any type of soap or cleaning product and pour some super hot water over the stone a few times then it should be good to go.
