Why do natural stone slabs have the same name but look so different?

Why do natural stone slabs have the same name but look so different? These stones are formed under unique conditions of temperature, pressure, and mineral composition, which can vary widely even within a single quarry. As a result, slabs extracted from different parts of the quarry or at different depths can display diverse patterns, colors, and veining.

The mineral impurities, the presence of different types of veins, and the orientation of the stone layers contribute to these natural variations.
