Method:
1) Make sure your marble has a good and smooth polish on it.
2) Burn image....HARD!
3) Spray with acrylic car paint
4) Spray liberally with WD40 and wipe down with a rubber-edged windscreen cleaner
5) Repeat step 4) until you're happy with the colour- this does manually what the brightness control does on your computer...gradually lightens the image up.
6) Let dry
7) Buff up any smeary bits with a felt pad, lightly WD40'd (I did make a dremil tool for this, but it couldn't hack 14,000 RPM and disintegrated, nearly causing me to sing soprano...manual methods are OK too, I suppose).
