Anyone have any info on the company and these stones from this company? I'm already familiar with ark stones.

It was originally a mail order business starting in the sixties.

Lots of the Calico Washita's out there with that branding, which points to Smith's and not to be confused with the quality of a vintage Washita.
No collector value, inexpensive stones.

Are they decent stones? I've had someone tell me they're on par or better than an old smiths ark

They probably are Smith's.
Made by God and mined from the earth they will be variable and each stone should judged on its own merit.

That's just the way natural stones are with the translucent Ark being somewhat of an exception.
