@bobtheman Why do you care? What you really need to know is

1- What is the grit range

2- do you need to soak it and for how long

ex. If you soak splash and go stones you could crack them. If you don't soak soakers you will have problems sharpening, etc.

Maybe this will help

You know you're supposed to clean your knife after sharpening right?  Even a slurry of the finest natural stones and steel is probably not something to eat.
