i wondered that...but i also had a norton india stone that my grandfather used for sharpening knives, and that seems a lot more orangeish...this is definitely more light brown (again, the light isn't great). does the india create a yellow slurry as well?

also, were they creating synthetic stones back in the day that this box was used? the box it's affixed in seems to be pretty darn old...
