There is nothing mystical about Jnats, they work great but are not magical one just has to spend some time and learn how to get the max from the stone.
What you have from e-bay there, looking at he terms used to name the stone, means the seller has no idea what the stone is and where it comes from, so they just used the typical words used to describe stone characteristics such as color. Also I am not sure there is such thing as Kiita Uchigumori, Uchigumori stones are asagi only I believe.
