We don't know if they were made with a few thousands of an inch of each other as only one of these stone vases have been examined by metrologists. It seems museum curators who control vase sets that appear to be identical are not eager to have these vases examined by metrologists.
The idea that we are supposed to believe that these stone vases some with hardness from about 7 up to 9.25 on the mohs scale were precision ground by farmers and hunter/gathers who by all accounts hadn't invented the wheel is both preposterous and insulting.
Clearly they came from somewhere else, hunter gatherers didn't make these objects.
Then when they did try to make reproduction vases out of alabaster in the 3rd dynasty they were poor knockoffs. Alabaster maxes out at about a 2 on the mohs scale.
Steel is only about a 4 to 5 on the mohs scale.
