marmorated
Having marble patterns
Marmorated means having a marbled appearance—streaked, veined, or mottled like marble.
The word appears most often in scientific contexts, particularly entomology: the brown marmorated stink bug is an invasive pest named for the mottled brown pattern on its back.
The marmorated surface of the stone suggested centuries of weathering.
