10-15 minutes should be plenty, granite by nature is virtually impervious, so any infection , disease, cyst or algae has an almost impossible task penetrating its structure. It doesnt soak up water so there will be little living on it once dried. A quick heating will do.

That's a nice big one.

I'd check it over for any cracks, and just to be on the safe side wrap it up with some aluminum foil or oven foil (usually stronger than aluminum) just in case it cracks and explodes.

10-15 as LHG mentioned at around 150 or 175F should be plenty. After the little plastic timer pops up...oh wait that's turkeys...after 10 minutes turn the oven off and let the rock cool itself. Sudden temp changes may cause the rock to crack so leave it in the oven till it's cool to the touch.
