Granite and slate pieces can be held together using various methods such as mortaring, adhesive bonding, or mechanical fastening like anchors or brackets. The choice of method depends on factors like the size of the pieces, desired aesthetic, and the location of the installation.
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
The granite would be older because it had to form first in order for the sandstone to contain pieces of it. The sandstone would have formed later on top of the granite layer.
One method to separate wood chips and pieces of granite rock is by using a sieve. The sieve will allow the smaller wood chips to pass through while retaining the larger pieces of granite rock. Another method is to use a process called flotation, where the wood chips can be floated on water and separated from the heavier pieces of granite rock.
Stone Mountain in Georgia, USA is not the largest piece of granite in the world. It is a prominent landmark and does contain one of the largest single masses of exposed granite, but there are larger granite formations globally.

Yes. While technically possible, the frame and slate would both be custom made. Conventional tables are not made with 4 piece slate.
Marble would be the most durable and beautiful but more difficult to carve than slate due to it's hardness .
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.
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.
