You can see the colors are the result of inclusions, which make it difficult to carve sharp detail and lettering. It also makes the carved stone weather(erode) faster. I noticed a stone in the cemetery up home that was black and gold, very appropriate for the woman beneath it, who was a wild and crazy chick. But in five years it was unreadable, which is maybe a good idea.
