I have sharpened on Arkies all my life. You have some learning to do about Arkansas stones. They don't slurry.

You have some learning to do about slurries - just because a base stone doesn't slurry doesn't mean you can't use the slurry from a nagura (slurry stone) on it.

I'm sure you can put something on the trans but it is not going to slurry. You would have just as much luck slurring a diamond. Like iceni said it is as hard as granite.

Its the slurry from the slurry stone which is doing the work, the ark has little to do with it, so it would not matter if it is a translucent or black just my opinion using slurry on an ark is pointless, might as well use a piece of glass, but I have not tried it myself so I should keep quite.

This is my point you could pour the slurry on a piece of railroad iron. The railroad iron is not going to slurry.
