That's the thing tho, the resemblance is incredible. I'll post a couple of pics, one will be marble and one will be porcelain.
I challenge you to tell them apart.

No, it's a Calacatta but not porcelthin. The largest they do currently is 1800 x 900,but that'll possibly increased to 2400 x 1200.

No idea where that is from but I highly doubt it.
Each marble has its own unique look.
Calacatta is Calacatta its distinctive, so doesn't matter who makes it, it will have a similar appearance.

How porcelain is made and where is porcelain made are three different things haha

The xxl porcelain tiles are perfect copies of real slabs of marble.
They take a slab, and photograph it, they then 3D print the slab on to the porcelain.
Most often, the easiest way to create different designs of the same slab is to move the print along 10% and reprint. That way they get a tile that only repeats every so many tiles, but it all taken from 1 slab.
Help?
