> Polished marble surfaces carry fine mineral veins, cool reflections and a convincing solid weight.

## About this style

Veined marble reinterprets form through the weight of solid stone. Fine dark mineral lines follow curved surfaces, while polished reflections and slight edge translucency describe a cool, dense material.

Marble combines veining, polished reflection and limited subsurface translucency.

Dark shoulder veins beside a softly lit ear rim can describe solid stone without turning its markings into glowing cracks.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Marble replaces skin and clothing with sculptural features and veins following curved surfaces.

- **Landscape**: A unified stone color turns buildings and plants into carved, weighty forms.

- **Object**: Dense stone, polished reflections and natural veins replace original materials.

**Subjects**: Choose sculptures, columns, rounded vessels or geometric buildings with broad curves for readable veins.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Reinterpret visible forms as solid polished marble while retaining their recognizable silhouettes and component relationships. Use a pale ivory stone matrix with irregular graphite-gray mineral veins that flow coherently across curved surfaces and wrap around volume. Add subtle translucency at thin edges, restrained polished reflections and natural variation in vein width. Let lighting reveal dense carved mass rather than liquid ripples. Avoid floating ink patterns, flat marbled paper, added statues, decorative pedestals or unrelated ornament.
