Like Luton says..from the photo, this does not look calibrated.. calibrated stone especially nowadays is a very consistant thickness.
As for the colour, difficult to see via a picture on screen...also like it is difficult for clients to see on an internet site and even in a brochure!
See it in the flesh before you spend your well earned money from centres with good displays etc with good advice and back up service. You only want to be doing these jobs once.

Could be Raj Green, sometimes you get lighter Raj Green similar to this, or Kandla Grey BUT i cannot be sure from this image.
All the best

That stone is definately not calibrated.

There are so many diffferent varieties of raj green depending on which supplier you use. Thats before you mention "Raj Blend"

Stone is a natural material and the colour of raj green has been gradually changing over a number of years. What you would call raj green 5 years ago is no longer available

that certainly looks like raj green on the ad, looks like he was offloading his old stock of 25-35 mm stuff from the previous listings
seems cheap but when you add the VAT and delivery its roughly what i pay at butterfields (my local stone merchant)
plus i can take back any odd broken ones there.
good luck
