Sound like India stones, if they are in good condition it was a good buy, they were originaly advertised as the replacement for natural stones, they last very well and produce a fine edge

It could be any of a number of man made stones.
the norton ones were typicaly black & tan..well dark gray and redish brown.
there have been a number of reputable manufactures and even more chepo's.
cheersAny thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
