The icon is a little different to what I've seen on others and I don't know how to tell otherwise.

Thanks!

Good masonry bits are carbide-tipped but not all of them. I used those with our sls drill but I stuck to the cheaper ones for anything under 1/2"

Perhaps dull was the wrong word but the tips do wear out. You wind up with a useless flat stub at the end that won't push through anything
