You don't want to order a marble slab online - the shipping cost will
bankrupt you.

Go to a local stonecutter (like someone who does grave markers - maybe
they'll have a broken or damaged piece that you could have for nothing,
or for cheap), quarry, kitchen/bath place (where you could order marble
countertops), an architectural salvage company, etc.
