There is also the other side of the coin; synthetics, the ones safe from crazing, that appear to be so thirsty you can't keep any water on their surface even after leaving them in the water for days.
I'm thinking about sealing one or more of these as well like the Sigma 1.2k or the Sun/Asahi binsui stone from namikawa (supposedly 400 grit but the construction is similar to the cheaper and coarser SiC stones; really solid made without binders, hard but can't get glazed, and even if the particles are in the 400 grit size, they break down easily for slurry use, the surface is very smooth as well and you end up with a perfect bevel setting stone that shaves hair which is my definition as a basic bevel setter, if it shaves hair it does the job, leaving a smooth, uniform edge) I will probably try it at some point.
