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.

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.
