Best one I could get of the color fading on the fine side since I've been cleaning it
Still India IMO. They can be anywhere from red to almost yellow, as well as white or blue and probably any number of other colors. The red-orange is just a customary color that's often seen. Get a knife on it and you'll know for sure.
I grabbed an old knife from a thrift store the other day... What am i looking for in the striations?
Fine scratch pattern and straight, chip free edge under magnification.
Compare it to a synthetic stone of known grit.
Just to show some other India stones - one of these looks virtually identical to yours and one gives an idea of the different shades available.
