I used to take care care of several spas in a ski town. They all had this orange stuff build up. Best I could ascertain was that it was just a creation of soap, oils, heat, water, etc. It always came back unless the cleaning was consistent. I have found that the SC soap film and/or mold remover works on natural stone. Hope this helps.

it looks like something is getting into the small pits of the stone.you may be right, it could be sunblock.  If the MEK cleaned it up and it came back chances are its something they are using in the shower..soap, shampoo, etc.
