Answer

Can I get a sample of Giallo Siena marble before ordering?

Holding it before you order

Yes. A sample is cut from the stock that would be supplied, so what arrives is the material rather than a photograph of it. The cost of the piece and the carriage are quoted against your request, and the sample is not charged for against an order.

Why this stone behaves this way

Giallo Siena marble varies within a block and between blocks, so a photograph cannot stand in for the material. A sample is the only way to close a question about colour, and marking it with the batch means the sample can be talked about later against the same reference.

What these figures are, and what they are not The sample shows one piece of one batch. It is a colour and a figure reference, not a guarantee that the whole order will match it.
