Cutting speed is moderate, no slurry dulling as far as I observed, not suitable for bevel setting. I know we can't say grit range for naturals but I put this stone between coticule and Chinese PHIG IMHO.

And I have to say these stones vary a lot even if they come from same quarry (keenness/smoothness).
