What is the difference between types of marble?

I am considering marble for a prep/baking area in my kitchen. Could anyone tell me or direct me to where I can easily see pics of the types typically used for countertop applications? I don't know the difference between carrera, calcutta, or whatever else I've seen mentioned in this forum. I tried googling, but honestly, the information was so vast that there wasn't a clear straightforward explanation of how they look and function differently. I'm curious about color/look, how durable... much they stain/etch, and availability. I'm not too worried about cost since it'll only be about a 5' section. I'm leaning toward a matching it with a light/medium swirly granite or I also like quartzite. TIA!
