That One You have is a Mid Grit Stone in the Yellow Package..The One I have in the Red Package is a Much Finer Grit Finisher..I May Be Lucky with this One as its a Finer Finisher in Terms of Finishing Capacity than My 16 K Escher Thuri or My 20 K Surgical Black Arkansas..That's Sayin Summit Cause an Arkie is One Hell of a Finisher in the Right Hands..@AlanT2 What do you think of 'Genuine Yellow Lake Oilstone' branded stones? I got one in a Yellow cardboard sleeve, very similar to the one @Fergiebilly 's post but the colour of the sleeve/box is Yellow not Red.
I Am No Expert on Welsh Slate Stones..I Do Know that Some Can Get Underestimated in Terms of Finishing Capacity..I have a Yellow Lake BRAND Welsh Yellow Lake which is NOT the Same Stone as Often Sold as A Yellow Lake Stone from a Particular Place..This Stone I have has a 20 K + Finishing Capacity with Oil..Easy..I Was Gobsmacked to be Honest..Its as Easy to Use as a Current Synthetic..
The One thing I Do Know is that Welsh Slates Can Vary a Lot through Talking to Forum Members about them..They are Quite Popular in Some Quarters these Days for a Progression although I Only Use My Stone Purely as a Finisher..Other than that I Don't Know Much about the Bigger Picture..Dalmore Stones are from Scotland I Believe like the Scotch Dalmore Blue for Example which is a Medium Grit Stone..
