Need help identifying these stones
Well, I was actually pointed in this direction from a wood carving forum! I got a set of wood carving tools from my grandpa that came with these sharpening stones. They could easily be 40 years old or more. I'm assuming they're slip stones but I have no idea if they're just different coarseness or what? The one that's reddish/brownish may just be super dirty because the old case had this foam material that was completely dry rotted when I opened it.
Here's the album. Tools - Album on Imgur

Cleaned up the stones and took some pictures, along with additional ones of the 2nd stone to try and clarify what it is.
Here's all of them together, same order as original picture http://i.imgur.com/AqiWkBn.jpg
1st one, obviously gets more translucent the thinner it gets, pretty cool looking http://i.imgur.com/2XTdkBY.jpg
2nd one, cleaned off the grime and doesn't seem translucent, looks more like a "stone" if that makes sense http://i.imgur.com/LtLhaA7.jpg
3rd one, a smidge translucent, tried putting my finger behind it to show http://i.imgur.com/NpxrMu5.jpg
4th one http://i.imgur.com/5df5wrf.jpg
5th one, more like the 3rd as far as how translucent it is http://i.imgur.com/zMSCO26.jpg
One side of the 2nd one that's not translucent at all http://i.imgur.com/ciUYnfb.jpg
