Hello Kevin,
Thank you kindly for your review of the 31 in. Stone Effects backsplash in Avalon. Although we can confirm that the Stone Effects collection, in general, is made to model after natural stone and, like natural stone, a variation in the pattern, color, and tone are possible and normal, we do want to sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. Please know that we truly appreciate your review and will be sure to use your feedback as a guide towards actively improving our products and customer experience.
Best Regards.
