That LOOKS - and I can be completely off track here - like a combination carburundum (coarse, uses oil) and some other water stone I use.... if you sharpen a knife dry on the smooth side, does it get all powdery like soapstone? If yes, I think its a water stone.

.... the very old 2-tone (red & yellow) water stone I have, I don't like it at all. I bought a new one from Lee Valley with a 1000 and 4000 grit, and I love it. But I still think ceramic or diamond the best.
