I have no sources to back this up, but back pre-Kunark, I remember an interview where the developers were surprised that players hadn't figured out some really important quest. If I recall correctly it had to do with Pyzjn, Varsoon and some kind of ShadowKnight version of the SoulFire.

Looks like the Glowing Black Stone is the item required to complete the quest described as "APPQuestJohnC"
The "APP" prefix means it was created by a design apprentice who was tinkering with the tools and learning the game. This isn't a quest that can actually be completed. Years later, when QUEST flags were applied to items APPQuestJohnC was picked up in the query and the GBS was flagged as a quest item. I don't know who JohnC is. The quest was created on 2/26/2000 so this predates me by over 2 years.

Hope this helps solve the mystery!
