a chunk of pale marble
| Description: Snowy cream in hue, the chunk of unpolished marble is rough to the touch. Faint, feathered veins of grey and gold entwine just under its surface, awaiting the skills of a gemcutter to bring them vibrantly to the fore.

a piece of black marble
| Description: Rough on some edges and polished on others, the hard lump only hints at the beauty that it could achieve within a jeweler's hands. Pale grey streaks and spots the rich black surface in a pattern akin to moonlight touching the surface of a river by midnight.

a piece of green marble
| Description: Shades of light and dark mottle the surface of the green stone in a pattern similar to that found on a forest floor as sunbeams shaft among the leaves. The rough surface is unprepossessing, but it is hard enough that a jeweler could cut and polish it into something quite pleasing to the eye.

a piece of pink marble
| Description: Fine veins of scarlet and grey run through the cloudy pink stone. Despite the rock's hardness, several chips, scratches, and cracks bear testament to past ill treatment.

a piece of white marble
| Description: A faint translucency lends a ghostlike quality to the surface of the pallid stone. Part of the stone is smoothly cut and polished, but other sections are rough and unattractive to the eye, suggesting that it was once part of a greater work that has since been destroyed.
