Eccentric Mano ?
I found this on an old farm many years ago no one has ever been able to tell me exactly what it is. It's highly polished, and has sort of a groove pecked into the inside curve.

Now that you mention it, it actually has a nice crescent shape. It's awfully thin to be a Mano maybe a inch thick. Maybe some type of charmstone?

possibly some form of charmstone.. possible a Boat stone as well, one that was not finished being shaped.. (thought all the Local boat stones I've seen are made from Steatite)..
Where did you locate it???
