If you choose, you can etch them. Note though that they are not meant to be excessively aggressive stones. Too much etching might make them too aggressive, leading to possible edge microchipping while sharpening.
FYI, you can also refresh these stones by lapping - using coarse silicon carbide powder on a flat surface.
