Well, after reading around, mainly on this forum, and in the light of the big variations in the Mujingfang stones, I have bought five of them, the idea being to try them all, and select one or two that work for me, then either sell or give the others away. You can see different colours in the picture, on the far right there is one darker stone which is harder, though it is not consistently hard across the face, there are some soft areas too. The other four seem softer, (from the left) one is a greenish grey, two are a slightly lighter blueish grey, and one is in between the lighter bluish grey ones and the darker harder stone. The softer ones can be marked by a fingernail, the hard one cannot.

I see that there are different ways of getting the best out of the different variants of this stone:

So the plan is get them home somehow, get them all lapped, and then do a bit of experimenting to see what I can get out of them. It will cost more to ship them back to Europe than I paid for them...
