Conglomerate is a sedimentary rock that is composed of sever host rocks. These host rocks could be from very different environments, and from very far away. That is how you get two very different rocks within one conglomerate. the heat smelts them together

Yes, if the flooring is level, uncracked, and has no loose pieces. You will need to strip the surface of the slate to ensure no residue remains that would not allow the mortar to bond.
There are granite deposits underground spread out, and together it would be bigger.

Yes. While technically possible, the frame and slate would both be custom made. Conventional tables are not made with 4 piece slate.

Granite is the rock with the highest tenacity, and therefore the most difficult to sculpt. There are problems with the others, for a variety of reasons. Shale is fissile, and will split into thin sheets. Obsidian is glassy, and will be prone to fracture. Slate is prone to splitting along foliation lines, but would be the easiest to sculpt mechanically.
Marble would be the most durable and beautiful but more difficult to carve than slate due to it's hardness .
It would have to be weathered & the fragments cemented together.
It would be very expensive to purchase just the sate, but yes, you can buy just the slate. A cheaper way to get the slate is to buy a used table and simply throw away the table except for the slate.
I would recommend Mortar Glue. It's the number one slate glue that's out there. You can find it at your local hardware store. just kidding i don't know
There are many but Sandstone, Granite, Quartz and some Slate are good provided they have not been contaminated by any kind of chemical or poison.
