I've had the same from Topps but in the thickness. Polished black marble, mostly 10mm thick but some boxes are 8mm thick. I now have a mosaic panel (thankfully only 300mm x 300mm) where the black tesserae are all 2mm lower than the rest and it's been sitting on the bench until I can get around to grinding it all down!
