Pier blocks - what material are they using??

I am building a low profile deck off the back of my home. Should be an easy project but I want to ensure I get all the best materials.

I was just at Lowes and they have Pier Blocks pre-notched for 2x6's. Exactly what I need.. but these things are very lightweight.. seem to be a very lightweight concrete substance. I am not sure what these are made of.

Across the street is a Home Depot and they have the very heavy pre-notched Pier Blocks (a couple dollars cheaper btw)..

I am wondering if anyone knows what the Lowes type is made from? Better product? or should I just go with the simple concrete style at Home Depot.

The Lowes website does not have the ones that I was looking at.

thanks!
